vice office m Calera on the first

gaged in employment under the So- 
cial Security Act.

Funeral Is Held 
For Mrs. Harrison 

Funeral services were conducted 
from the Methodist Church in Mon- 
tevallo last Saturday afternoon, 
Dec. 29, for Mrs. Georgia Scott 
Harrison, widow of the late W. E. 
Harrison, former Treasurer and Tax 
Assessor of Shelby County. Rev. 
T. K. Roberts of Columbiana con- 
ducted the services. 

Mrs. Harrison died at her home 
in Montevallo on last Thursday 
night. She was beloved by a great 
many friends. A devoted wife, 
mother and grandmother, her life 
was one of altruistic service to 
those whom she loved. Her never- 
failing loyalty to her loved ones is 
a beautiful memory. Her faithful- 
ness to every duty is an example 
worthy of emulation. 

Her death followed a period of 
ten years of bad health due to a 
broken hip and several other falls. 
The final cause of death was leak- 
age from both sides of the heart. 
Mrs. Harrison was born on Sep- 
tember 22, 1878, in Alaxender City, 
the daughter of the late Mr. and 
Mrs. Daniel Scott. In young girl- 
hood she moved with her family 
to Shelby County where she re- 
mained until she died. 

After rearing her own three 
children she assumed the responsi- 
bility for her three grandchildren 
after the death of her daughter, 
Ruby Harrison Lovelady, in 1938. 

Mrs. Harrison is survived by two 
sons, Fred Harrison, of Montevallo, 
and Lt. Karl C. Harrison, of New- 
port, Rhode Isiand ; three grand- 
children, Bill and Donald Lovelady, 
who recently returned from army 
service overseas, and Miss Louise 
Lovelady, Alumnae Secretary at 
Alabama College ; her sisters, Mrs. 
Ruth Scott Martin, Birmingham, 
Mrs. Uptie Scott Hawkins, Bir- 
mingham, and Miss Kate Scott, 
Anniston ; and her brothers, Mr. 
Daniel Scott, Santa " Marie, Cal.,

Our Candidate For 
Governor 

In our previous articles under 
the above caption we tried first of 
all to lay down some guiding prin- 
ciples which we believe the voters 
might well follow in making up 
their minds as to whom they will 
support for Governor in the cam- 
paign this year. In a more recent 
article we went into some details 
by way of predicting the kind of 
platform on which Mr. Ellis will 
base his campaign for Governor. 
We are still confident that he will 
make a forthright, understandable 
statement of his position on the 
major issues. We are also confident 
that his platform will constitute a 
design for good government in Ala- 
bama. Last week we had a look 
at the kind of personality, or char- 
acter, that a successful Governor 



must possess. Whether we use a 
yardstick for measuring candidates 
consisting of the primary virtues 
of honesty and sobriety or of the 
less conspicuous qualifications of 
determination, good humor, and 
devotion to the public service, we 
insist that our candidate, Handy 
Ellis, takes up all the space on the 
measuring rod. To use plain lang- 
uage, Mr. Ellis has what it takes 
in the way of character to make a 
successful Governor. If we did not 
place enough emphasis on his un- 
failing good humor last week, let 
us add now that a dog-loving 'coon 
hunter will always do to trust. 

This brings us up to another 
yardstick for measuring candidates 
ior Governor, which the voters 
should use unsparingly. Whoever is 
elected Governor of Alabama in 
this year 1946 should be a man of 
PROVED ability. In one of his 
plays Shakespeare said : "Some men 
are born great, some achieve great- 
ness, and some have greatness 
thrust upon them." Pretty soon we 
shall be receiving letters from can- 
didates for Governor, and hearing 
them make speeches, who will 
strive to convince us that they were 
born with ability and that they 
have achieved ability. They may be 
a little squeamish about admitting 
that ability has been thrust upon 
them. They will make us think of 
a famous old nursery rhyme : 
Little Jack Horner 
Sat in a corner, 
Eating his Christmas pie; 
He stuck in his thumb

MORE FARMS 

A Reality in 1946 

In furtherance of our activities 
to extend and improve telephone service

rural residents who have been waiting for 
them.

And pulled out a plumb, 

And said, "What a great boy am I." 

But we do not have any misgiv- 
ings about the ability of our can- 
didate, Lieutenant Governor L. 
Handy Ellis. Indeed, his proved 
ability should serve him well in his 
campaign throughout the entire 
state. No one knows his ability bet- 
ter than the lawyers who have been 
on the opposite side of issues with 
him, in Shelby County or elsewhere 
in Alabama. He is a successful man 
in his own right. He can be ex- 
pected to take his ability into the 
office of Governor and use it to 
the advantage and progress of all 
the people of the state. 

Likewise, he has proved his ab- 
ility in a long and successful ca- 
reer in the Legislature of Alabama. 
In the Senate, in the House of 
Representatives, and more recently, 
in the office of Lieutenant Gov- 
ernor, he has uniformly proved his 
distinguished ability. He proved his 
ability peculiarly in the two ses*- 
sions of the Legislature during the 
present administration. There were 
no quarrels between him and the 
Governor, nor between him and the 
Senate. They got down to the busi- 
ness of legislation and stuck to it 
in a way highly creditable to our 
state. If we are going to hire a 
plow hand or a radio repairman, or 
a lawyer or a doctor, if we are wise 
we will try to get the man who 



can do the job. In other words, we 
will try to select the man who has 
the ABILITY to do the thing we 
want done. Voters in this cam- 
paign will do well to follow this 
principle in electing a Governor — 



and if they do, it will be our dis- 
tinguished fellow citizen of Shelby 
County, Honorable L. Handy Ellis. 



Miss Mildred Meroney has re-, 
turned to Judson after spending 
the holidays at home. 



Milk Bottles 



We are short of milk bottles and can not get any new 
ones. Therefore, we must make out with those we have 
and those YOU have. 

Please put your empty bottles out so we can pick them 
up on each delivery trip. 

Hereafter we will not leave any milk if there is not an 
empty bottle or bottles left out for us to pick up. 

We hope our customers will co-operate in this request 
in order that we may be able to continue to serve you.

New Industries Will Come 
To Alabama in 1946 



NEW INDUSTRIES will come to Alabama 
in 1946. 

We don't know what kinds of industries 
they will be nor where in Alabama they will 
locate. We do know that our Industrial De- 
velopment Department is in contact with a 
number of them — that some of them will lo- 
cate in Alabama. 

Our Advertising Department is preparing 
a series of advertisements to appear in na- 
tional business magazines. It is our hope that 
they will be as effective in stimulating inter- 
est in Alabama as those published this year. 

We know also that the State Chamber of 
Commerce and local chambers of commerce 
and other groups of citizens are laying before 
interested parties the advantages of location 
in Alabama. We know that others are plan- 
ning the establishment of new industries in 
Alabama with Alabama capital. 

Yes, new industries will come to Alabama 
in 1946 and, as in the past, they will offer 
opportunity for employment and will help in- 
crease the market for the products of Ala- 
bama farms.

LEGION POST THANKED FOR 
"GIFTS TO YANKS WHO GAVE" 

A letter to The Times this week 
from Albert B. Stapp, state com- 
mander of the American Legion, 
and John T. Batten, chairman of 
Gifts for Yanks Who Gave, says : 

"We will appreciate your grant- 
ing us the use of your column to 
thank the Hendrick-Hudson Post 
No. 96 the American Legion and 
the good citizens of your city and 
county for the generous support 
given the American Legion's 'Gifts 
for Yanks Who Gave' - program at 
Christmas time. 

"The generous gifts and finan- 
cial support furnished through the 
Post, together with support for the 
program furnished through other 
posts of the Alabama Department 
of the American Legion, made it 
possible for every service men and 
woman and every veteran in an 
Alabama hospital to receive a 
gift box." 



Ingram To Run 1 
Revenue Board 

Mr. Lawson Ingram, of Spring 
Creek community, on Monday' of 
this week announced as a candidate 
for member of the Shelby County 
Board of Revenue in District Two. 
This is sometimes referred to as 
the Montevallo District. It is at 
present, and has been for several 
years, represented on the Board 
of Revenue by Mr. S. M. Tatum. 
We hear it said that Mr. Tatum 
will not be a candidate to succeed 
himself this time. 

Mr. Ingram is a well known cit- 
izen of the county and his many 
friends consider him able and well 
qualified for the office he seeks. 

For several years Mr. Ingram 
hfs served as road supervisor un- 
der former members of the Board 
of Revenue, J. M. Frost, Wright 
Ingram, and the present member, 
S. M. Tatum. He is regarded as 
familiar with the duties of a mem- 
ber of the Board of Revenue and 
well qualified to fill the office. 

Mr. Ingram promises the people 
of the second district that if they 
elect him to the office, he will give 
to the duties thereof all the' atten- 
tion that his integrity, experience 
and ability will afford. And it is 
admitted generally that the integ- 
rity, experience, and ability of 
Lawson Ingram adds up to a large 
sum total of qualifications for the 
office.

When wondering whether or not to invest in more Victory Bonds, think 
of PFC Albert H. Rohrmann, 25, Brooklyn, N. a parachute infantry- 
man, who must be under medical care for a long while. Wounded first 
in New Guinea and then when caught in ambush advancing on Manila, 
he is in a body cast at Holloran Hospital, N. Y., for a bone injury and 
shock to his nervous system. Bond purchases will help many more like 
him in hospitals all over the nation, help them to re-establish them- 
selves in both the social and economic American way of life.

Our Candidate For 
Governor 

This is the last of a series of five 
articles in which The Times has 
been presenting its support of our 
candidate for Governor, Lieuten- 
ant Governor L. Handy Ellis of 
Sheiby County. We hold to the 
definite conviction that Mr. Ellis' 
platform, when it is announced, will 
appeal to the sound judgment of 
the voters of Alabama. However, 
in this final article we must again 
remind citizens that the platform 
of a candidate for Governor can- 
not even remotely cover the many 
hundreds, even thousands, of issues 
which will confront the Governor 
during the next four years. We, 
therefore, again remind the voters 
that they will be wise to apply the 
acid tests of character and ability 
to the man whom they will support 
in the forthcoming campaign. 

As a final measure of the men 
from whom we shall select a Gov- 
ernor, we submit that the qualified 
electors will be wise to examine 
carefully the EXPERIENCE of 
the several candidates for Govern- 
or. By this we mean successful ex- 
perience in government. A famous 
old preacher friend of ours used to 
say : "But things are never equal." 
We do not concede at all that the 
other candidates will measure up to 
our candidate in the matter of 
platform, character, and ability, as 
we have defined them in previous 
articles. However, if they were all 
equal in every respect to our can- 
didate, Handy Ellis, in point of 
platform, character, and ability, we 
would still insist that Mr. Ellis has 
a better record than any of the 
other candidates by way of success- 
ful experience in government. It is 
simply not tru.; that sny of the 
other candidates is Mr. Ellis' equal 
as a student of government. In 
fact, Handy Ellis was a student of 
government when most of the oth- 
er candidates were in their politi- 
cal swaddling clothes. Moreover, 
he has never been a student of the 
kind of government that would be 
of particular advantage to his per- 
sonal interests or to the interests 
of a particular county or section 
of the state. 

Whether in the House of Rep- 
resentatives or in the Senate or in 
the chair of the Lieutenant Gov- 
ernor, Handy Ellis has always been 
an acknowledged and accepted 
leader at the Capitol in Montgom- 
ery. This cannot be said of any 
other candidate who so far has an- 
nounced for Governor. By reason 
of his loyalty to the state, his de- 
votion to the public service, his 
keen ability, and his inexhaustible 
energy, he has always forged far 
ahead of most men in the Legisla- 
ture. During the more than twenty 
years of his public service he has 
demonstrated distinguished ability 
and leadership in progressive leg- 
islation, without ever incurring 
criticism of being a radical. Dur- 
ing his years of service Alabama 
has made great strides in road 
building, health service, education, 
relief for the aged and infirm, 
prison reform, and the other great 
interests which are of concern to 
all the people. In all of these ad- 
vances Handy Ellis has always 
been at the front as a successful 
leader. 

Handy Ellis is no novice in gov- 
ernment. He knows his way around 
the Legislature of Alabama. He 
has the judicial mind and training 



and the business ability required 
of any man who succeeds in the 
honorable business of government. 
In the Legislature and at the Capi- 
tol he has proved his ability as a 
leader. With due respect and good 
feeling for the other candidates, 
not a one of them can show; such 
a record as our candidate, Handy 
Ellis, when it comes to successful 
experience in government. For just 
this reason we believe that the 
voters will not reject a tried and 
successful man in the person of 
our candidate, L. Handy Ellis, for 
some other candidate whose planks 
in his platform may be made of 
sap and full of knot holes. 



WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH 
A MILLION AND A HALF? 

What would you do if you had 
a million dollars — or a million and 
a half? 

Ask J. P. Kelly — and you still 
won't know what you would do 
with it. 

But Mr. Kelly is in charge of a 
million and a half of total resources 
at the Merchants & Planters Bank 
in Montevallo and he is not the 
least bit excited about it — not at 
all worrying about what he will do 
with it. He is going along in his 



usual good-natured way running 
our home bank for our home peo- 
ple. 

The growth of this, our home 
financial institution, in the last 
four years is phenomenal but not 
altogether unusual, because it is a 
fact that banks as a rule are lit- 
erally "busting open" with money. 
Some express wonder at where all 
the money came from. 

Let us not worry about where it 
came front but be more concerned 
about where it goes — or rather to 
see that it does not go anywhere, 
but stays right here at home. 

The money in our bank, in the 
major sense, belongs to somebody 
in Montevallo (not the town print- 
er, however). We may take justi- 
fiable pride in the fact that our 
people have that much money and 
that it is placed in a bank as good 
as our home bank. 

The people who own and operate 
our bank are home people. All of 
them live here, except Len Walk- 
er, and we do not consider him a 
"furriner" by any means. We even 
like him well enough to vote for 
him for Probate Judge — and if he 
will put up the right collateral, we 
might let him have a little loan 
from our bank once in a while.

eyes pop — he measured 73 inches 
in overall length and 36 inches in

A. E. (Bud) Norwood Announces 
For Sheriff Of Shelby County 



Mr. A. E. (Bud) Norwood, of 
Calera, has formally announced as 
a candidate for Sheriff of Shelby 
County in the Democratic primary 
of May 7. 

Having been a candidate for this 
office before, Mr. Norwood already 
is widely known among the people 
of Shelby County. And he has a 
formidable number of loyal sup- 
porters who will stand by him in 
this effort to gain the office of 
Sheriff. 

By experience in public affairs 
and by his good principles of life 
and citizenship, Bud Norwood 
stands well qualified in the estima- 
tion of his friends and neighbors 
for performing the important du- 
ties of the Sheriff's office. 

Mr. Norwood is a veteran of 
World War One, and served sev- 
eral months with the A. E. F. ov- 
erseas. Returning to civilian life, 
he became active in affairs of the 
American Legion, having served as 
commander of Ware-Crim post at 
Calera. By his loyal and effective 
support of Legion activities in 
Shelby County, he is well known 
and favorably recognized not only 
in the county, but throughout the 
state. 

Throughout his adult life Bud 
Norwood has taken the part of a 
citizen in support of the things 
that good citizens cherish and hold 
sacred. He is a member of the 
Baptist Church and has been an 
active member of the Shelby Coun- 
ty Democratic Executive Commit- 
tee for several years. 

"I offer myself and my services 
to my people as Sheriff of Shelby 
County," says Mr. Norwood. "I 
ask you to give me careful con- 
sideration as you think about whom 
you will elect for this important 
office. I know I can fill the office 
in a manner that will be satisfac- 
tory to the good people of Shelby 
County; and I sacredly promise to 
do so if you elect me to the of- 
fice." 




Judge L. C. Walker

As Probate Judge

Judge Walker, who is complet- 
ing his second term as Probate

His friends, who are legion in Shel- 
by County, say that he has set a 
high standard of service to the 
public which might well be aimed 
at by all who hold or seek public 
office. 

In asking the voters to return 
him to the office of Probate Judge 
for another term, Judge Walker 
pledges the same high type of ser- 
vice and devotion to duty which

HARRY GORDON 

Harry Gordon Heads 
March Of Dimes 

Harry Gordon, chairman of the 
Shelby County March of Dimes 
committee to raise funds for the 
fight on infantile paralysis, today 
announced that the appeal opened 
January 14 and will continue un- 
til January 31. 

"All people," Mr. Gordon said, 
"have come to know that the Na- 
tional Foundation for Infantile 
Paralysis is a necessary and in- 
valuable force in our national life. 
We know how effective it has 
been in epidemics of polio, provid- 
ing medical care and treatment for 
poliomyelitis patients, regardless 
of age, race, creed or color. 

"We realize that much of the 
knowledge of the disease and its 
treatment results from scientific 
research made possible by the Na- 
tional Foundation. I am sure that 
everyone will contribute more gen- 
erously this year than ever before." 

As in former years, Mr. Gordon 
said, one-half of all the money 
collected in the county will remain 
here to finance the hospitalization, 
care and treatment of local suffer- 
ers. The other half goes to head- 
quarters of the National Founda- 
tion and is used for continuing 
research, education and emergency 
aid in epidemics throughout the

W. L. Brown To Run 
For Chairman Of 
Board Of Revenue 

After serving for the past six 
years as Chairman of the Shelby 
County Board of Revenue, Mr. W. 
L. Brown, of Montevallo, is asking 
the voters of the county to return- 
him to this important office. 

Mr. Brown has far reaching plans 
for the construction and improve- 
ment program which he hopes to 
see materialize in Shelby County, 
now that the war is over. Handi- 
capped in recent years by the 
shortage of both materials and la- 
bor, Mr. Brown was unable to 
carry forward his plans to provide 
the people of the county with the 
roads and other facilities which 
they need and deserve. Now, with 
the return of peace, he foresees a 
bright future for Shelby County, 
toward which he pledges his ef- 
forts to the fullest of his ability, 
should the voters see fit to elect 
him to another term in office. 

Pointing to the fact that the 
Board of Revenue administers the 
finances of the county — which run 
well over a million dollars — Mr. 
Brown emphasizes the importance 
of experience to a chairman of this 
board. Therefore, he maintains, his 
experience as Chairman of the 
Board of Revenue enlarges his cap- 
acities for furthur service to the 
people of the county. 



MONTEVALLO, ALABAMA, THURSDAY, JANUAR I, 1946 



County Agent Sets 
Farm Meetings 

Now is a good time for farmers 
to plan for their 1946 farm opera- 
tions. Such problems as buying 
fertilizer, planting kudzu, sericea 
lespedeza, seeding and fertilizing 
permanent pastures. 

We need more kudzu and sericea 
lespedeza for grazing and hay and 
if we expect to plant this spring, 
it is time to arrange for kudzu 
crowns and sericea seed, as well as 
prepare the land. 

It appears now that we may have 
trouble in getting the fertilizer 
that you want, also the delivery of 
fertilizer so we should make fer- 
tilizer plans now. 

To help with these problems we 
are calling a series of meetings. 
Meetings in this locality will be 
held on Friday, February 1, as fol- 
lows : 8 :30 a.m., Dargin Church ; 
10 :30 a.m., Calera School ; 1 :00 
p.m., Enon Church ; 3 :00 p.m., 
Montevallo High School. 



College Plans For 
50th Anniversary 

Alabama College is making plans 
for the celebration of its fiftieth 
anniversary on October 12, 13, and 
14, 1946, according to an announce- 
ment by President Arthur Fort 
Harman. 

Nineteen Hundred Forty-six is 
the semi-centennial year and anni- 
versary activities will continue 
throughout the year, but will be 
concentrated in celebrations on 
October 12, 13, 14. 

Having opened its doors on Oct- 
ober 12, 1896, Alabama College has 
developed to a standard liberal arts 
college, granting the Bachelor of 
Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bach- 
elor of Music, and Bachelor of 
Science degrees. It now has a

bers. 





JUDGE W. W. WALLACE 



Judge Wallace Seeks 
Re-election As Judge 
Of 18th Circuit 

Judge W. W. Wallace of Colum- 
biana has announced his candidacy 
for relection as Judge of the 18th 
Judicial Circuit, composed of Clay, 
Coosa, and Shelby Counties. 

Judge Wallace was born and 
reared in Shelby County, and needs 
no introduction to citizens of the 
county. Before his election as Cir- 
cuit Judge he was a practicing at- 
torney in Columbiana, where he 
served as mayor, and was elected 
to represent the 15th District of 
Alabama as Senator in the Legis- 
lature. He also served as solicitor 
of the 18th Judicial Circuit. He is 
a graduate of the University of 
Alabama. 

Judge Wallace holds the dis- 
tinction of being one of the few 
judges in Alabama who has never 
had a decision reversed by the Su- 
preme Court — which speaks well 
for his knowledge of the law. 

"I hope," Judge Wallace said, 
"that my past record as a public 
official and jurist will merit your 
support, vote and personal interest 
to such an extent that you will 
again accord me the privilege and 
honor of continued service as Cir- 
cuit Judge for Clay, Coosa, and 
Shelby Counties."

Some of the Question 
They Ask Us 

SoME of the questions asked our Industrial Development 
Department by industries considering locations for plants may 
be of interest if your town desires industrial development. 
Here they are : 



How many men and women are available for em- 
ployment in the area under consideration? 

Is there a good supply of the type of raw materials 
needed? 

What is the Southern market for the product to 
be manufactured? 

Are there good rail and highway transportation facil- 
ities? 

Is there a building available? Is the cost of land 
or rent reasonable? 

Does the town have an enthusiastic organized group 
of citizens interested in the industrial progress of the 
town? 



These are a few of the questions asked. In response to 
them, our Industrial Development Department presents the 
facts about such locations that in its opinion meet the require- 
ments of the prospect. The decision as to where he will locate 
is made by him. This he does not do, of course, until he or 
his representatives have visited the community, and have met 
some of the people. 

One thing not to be overlooked is the fact that the pros- 
pect may not be an out-of-state resident. He might be an 
Alabama citizen, planning to start or expand an industry, 
quietly doing his own looking and asking others the questions 
so frequently asked us. 

These questions are published with the thought that 
communities which have not already done so, may want to 
take stock so that when an industrial opportunity develops, 
they will have the facts at hand.

Affiliated With Rotary International 



A meeting of citizens was held 
last Friday evening at Reynolds 
Dining Hall for the purpose of or- 
ganizing a provisional Rotary Club 
and asking for a charter from that 
world-wide organization of service 
clubs. 

Wallace Journey, of the Birming- 
ham Rotary Club, attended the 
meeting to advise and counsel in 
matters of procedure. Other mem- 
hers of Rotary Clubs from Bir- 
mingham, Bessemer, Ensley, and

ROY DOWNS 



Roy Downs Heads 
Red Cross Drive 

Roy Downs, cashier of Central 
State Bank, Calera, has been nam- 
ed chairman of the 1946 fund rais- 
ing campaign of the Shelby Coun- 
ty Chapter, American Red Cross. 
The appeal will be launched March 
1. 

Following acceptance of the in- 
vitation of R. M. Cleckler, chapter 
chairman, and a chapter committee, 
to serve as director of this first 
peacetime Red Cross campaign, 
Mr. Downs began organization for 
the drive. Announcement of his 
volunteer co-workers will be made 
when the assignments are com- 
pleted. 

"The job of the Red Cross is by 
no means finished," Mr. Downs 
stated. "The Red Cross battle goes 
on for men overseas, our men in 
hospitals, our veterans. Our local 
Red Cross chapters are a vital link 
in aiding service men still over- 
seas, and their families, and in 
serving our veterans who have re- 
turned. 

"I have no hesitancy in pre- 
dicting," the chairman continued, 
"that Shelby County will quickly 
reach its quota of the funds need- 
ed by Red Cross." 

Although Mr. Downs became a 
resident of Shelby County only last 
March, when he came to the Cen- 
tral State Bank from First Na- 
tional Bank, Birmingham, his num- 
-erous friends in the county claim 
him as their own. He has render- 
ed excellent service to welfare 
agencies and to the Red Cross 
chapter in Jefferson as well as in 
Shelby County. With him, the co- 
operation of the chapter staff and 
the public-spirited men and women 
who will give their time in this 
campaign, Red Cross will carry on. 



Shop Quartet," composed of Red 
Mahan, Bob Reid, Dr. Hubbard, 
Wayne Villadsen, and Mr. Philpot. 

A committee for the nomination 
of provisional officers was com- 
posed of Dr. Charles T. Acker, 
chairman; Dick Whaley, and Luth- 
er Wooten. Dr. Acker was spokes- 
man to present nominations to the 
group. His nominating speech was 
regarded as the outstanding feature 
of the evening. 

Adopting the recommendations of 
the nominating committee, the fol- 
lowing provisional officers were 
elected: President, John Herrin; 
Vice-President, R. A. Reid; Secre- 
tary, James A. Wyatt; Treasurer, 
W. M. Davis; Sergeant-at-Arms, 
D. A. Thomas ; Trustees, Pete 
Givhan, Luther Wooten, and Mack 
Wyatt. 

Thirty-two citizens of Monte- 
vallo were present and signified 
their desire to become members of 
the club. All details of application 
for a charter have been completed, 
and it is expected that within a 
few weeks the Rotary Club of 
Montevallo will be duly authorized 
as the 50th Rotary Club in Ala- 
bama. 



Frank Head To 
Run For Re-election 
To Legislature 

Representative Frank Head an- 
nounced his candidacy this week 
for re-election to represent Shelby 
County in the Legislature. 

As representative from the coun- 
ty during the present administra- 
tion, Mr. Head acquired valuable 
experience as a member of the 
Legislature. He served on some of 
the most important committees of 
the House, and was a member of 
the interim committee to study 
and report on the public welfare 
service. Mr. Head is deeply inter- 
ested in the development of higher 
standards of education and public 
welfare services. In the event of 
his re-election, Mr. Head offers to 
use his experience and his best ef- 
forts to serve the interests of his 
county.

MONTEVALLO, ALABAMA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1946 




DR. CHARLES T. ACKER 



Ellis To Support 
State Merit System 

Handy Ellis, candidate for Gov- 
ernor, announced in Montgomery 
Thursday at a state-wide meeting 
of his campaign leaders that he 
would unreservedly support the 
state merit system and lead the 
fight against any effort that may 
be made by any faction to destroy 
or impair it. He praised the man- 
ner in which the merit system has 
been administered and declared 
that it had made an outstanding 
contribution to good government 
in Alabama and must continue to 
be kept free from any political 
controls or pressure. 

Mr. Ellis told his campaign lead- 
ers that the platform he would soon 
present to Alabama citizens would 
deal fully and forthrightly with 
every campaign issue. 

"My campaign platform will leave 
no room for doubt about where I 
stand," Mr. Ellis said in his infor- 
mal talk to his campaign leaders. 
"You may depend on it that I will 
enter into no back-stage agree- 
ments with any group or individual 
in Alabama. Secret covenants will 
have no place in my campaign. 
Voters are entitled to know the 
truth, the whole truth and nothing 
but the truth concerning the posi- 
tion of a candidate for Governor 
of Alabama."

ned and adopted. 



FRED DURAN HONORED 

Fred A. Duran, son of Mrs. Lena 
Duran of Montevallo, has been ap- 
pointed to serve as Montgomery 
County chairman for American 
Brotherhood Week, February 17- 
24. Mr. Duran is vice-president of 
the Union Bank and Trust Com- 
pany in Montgomery. 



Mrs. C. M. Gardner, Clyde and 
Helen of Mt. Andrew recently vis-

Claude Fore Seeks 
Election As Sheriff 

Claude H. Fore of Columbiana 
announced this week his candidacy 
for the office of Sheriff of Shelby 
County in the primary elections to 
be held on May 7 and June 4. 

Mr. Fore is well known through- 
out the county. He came here in 
1924 to serve as deputy sheriff at 
Boothton. Later he came to Mon- 
tevallo where he was town marshal 
and deputy sheriff for nine years. 

In 1934 he was elected sheriff of 
the county and served four years. 
During 1941 and 1942 he served as 
chief deputy sheriff. 

Mr. Fore was recently discharg- 
ed from the navy after serving 33 
months. He is a member of the 
American Legion, a 32nd degree 
Mason, and a member of the 
Knights of Pythias and Red Men. 

Mr. Fore's record as a peace 
officer in Shelby County has been 
outstanding as one of the best rec- 
ords in the history of the county. 
He will appreciate the active sup- 
port of all Shelby County citizens. 



Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Vieth of Wil- 
ton spent Sunday afternoon with 
Mr. and Mrs. Millard Smitherman. 



There were numerous contribu- 
tions of individual effort and per- 
sonality which added up to the 
splendid meeting of Montevallo 
citizens in the organization of a 
Rotary Club last Friday evening. 

Among all the things done and 
said we take the personality of Dr. 
Charles T. Acker as the most im- 
pressive contribution to the occa- 
sion. 

In the capacity of chairman of 
the committee to nominate officers 
Dr. Charley was spokesman for the 
committee to present its recom- 
mendations to the group. His nom- 
inating speech was a classic in- 
deed. It did full and exact justice 
to its subjects, even if some of 
them did squirm and wonder when 
the speaker would pass on to the 
next. 

Dr. Acker not only goes upon 
the record as one of the moving 
spirits of Rotary's inception and 
inauguration in Montevallo ; but 
his well-deserved place as one of 
the most brilliant men and most 
charming personalities will gain 
wider recognition throughout Ala- 
bama by his association in Rotary. 



Miss Eunice Moore, Urma Jean 
Luquire, and Johnnie Evans, all of 
Birmingham, spent Sunday with 
Mr. and Mrs. Fermon Moore. 



Bozeman To Run 
For Re-election 

Luther Bozeman, Sheriff of 
Shelby County, has announced his 
candidacy for re-election to this 
office, subject to action of the De- 
mocratic primaries of May 7 and 
June 4. 

Mr. Bozeman is well kn«\va in 
Shelby County, having made many 
friends and won numerous sup- 
porters during his» past four years 
in the office of Sheriff. He is an 
experienced peace officer, having 
served as Deputy Sheriff prior to 
his election to his present office. 

Mr. Bozeman stands on his past 
record as Sheriff, and pledges con- 
tinuance of his best efforts in up- 
holding the laws of the county and 
state, should he again be chosen to 
serve as Sheriff. He will appre- 
ciate your serious consideration of 
his candidacy.

A LITTLE TOO MUCH 

We "stretched the blanket" a 
little bit last week in our good- 
intentioned effort to point up the 
fine judicial record of Hon. W. W. 
Wallace, fellow-citizen of Shelby 
County and candidate for re-elec- 
tion as Judge of the 18th Judicial 
Circuit. 

We said in all the judicial rec- 
ord of Judge Wallace there has 
not been a single reversal in a high- 
er court of a verdict of any case 
tried by Judge Wallace's court. 
This statement should have been 
less inclusive, saying that there 
has not been a reversal of the ver- 
dict in a murder case in Judge 
Wallace's court. 

Our error was made in copying 
the notes we had upon Judge Wal- 
lace's excellent record. He has 
served Shelby, Clay and Coosa 
Counties well, honorably and faith- 
fully for many years. We believe 
his home county of Shelby will 
again give him a well-night unan 
imous vote for re-election. 



Basketball Stars To 
Play At Calera 

Local fans will again get a good 
look at big-time basketball when 
Royal Cleaners, of the Southern 
League, engages Long-Lewis, Bir 
mingham's best, in the feature of a 
three-way card to be played at 
Calera Wednesday night, Feb. 13. 

Brutus Baker, a former Celtic, 
will have plenty of trouble around 
the pivot spot when he shows his 
wares against "Shag" Hawkins 
All - Southeastern from Auburn. 
These teams have met only once 
this season, with the hardware men 
edging out a close victory. Tanner, 
a teammate with Hawkins at Au- 
burn, will also be on hand with the 
Long-Lewis hardware men. Both 
teams are loaded with talent from 
several colleges throughout the 
country. Royal Cleaners has lost 
only one game outside of league 
play, while Long-Lewis has lost 
three, with two of their defeats 
being at the hands of professional 
teams. 

In one of the two preliminaries 
of the night, Calera Independents 
battle Mt. Olive in a return match 
of their home and home slate. Ca- 
lera defeated Mt. Olive in Birming- 
ham 29-27. 

In the other preliminary, Calera 
High School will meet some other 
team yet to be selected. 

Sam Tarleton, assistant sports 
editor of the Birmingham Post, will 
be on hand to referee the main 
event. 

The night's card: 

7:00 p.m. — Calera High vs. a 
team to be selected. 

8 :00 p.m. — Calera Independents 
vs. Mt. Olive (YMCA League). 

9 :00 p.m. — Royal Cleaners vs. 
Long-Lewis.

A Message to 
My Good Friends in 

SHELBY COUNTY 

I am taking this oppor- 
tunity to let my good 
friends throughout this 
county know that I am a 
candidate for Governor of 
Alabama in the Demo- 
cratic primary of May 7th 
and that I shall be deeply 
HANDY ELLIS grateful for your support. 
Our state, with its great resources, stands today 
upon the threshold of a great opportunity. Good 
state government should be the key that unlocks 
the door. 

If honored with election as your Governor, I shall 
dedicate my every thought and action to the building 
of a greater Alabama and a sound state government 
that will return to every citizen full value for his 
tax dollars. 

I pledge you an administration that will be liberal 
in outlook, vigorous in action and keyed to the pro- 
gressive spirit of the times. 

In the near future I will present my platform — an 
open and complete statement of my stand on cam- 
paign issues. I promise you that under cover of that 
platform there will be no back-room promises to 
any individual or faction. You will know where 1 
stand, what I promise and what I will strive to achieve 
as Governor of Alabama. 

Sincerely yours,

WHAT'S AHEAD 




We're looking into the future of telephone service 
in Alabama. What we see is of great importance 
to forward-looking citizens of the State. 

We see telephones for all who want them. We 
see a lot of people with new jobs and steady in- 
comes . . . more good customers for more businesses 
. . . added prosperity for Alabama — all as a result 
of the tremendous expansion program already 
started by the Telephone Company. 

This program involves the expenditure of more 
than $300,000,000 in the nine southeastern states 
and means that the present investment in tele- 
phone facilities in Alabama will be practically 
doubled in the future. 

So, we see the need for a lot of money. This 
money will have to come, as it has in the past, 
from the savings of thrifty people. 

Unless . these people have confidence in the 
safety of their investment and feel assured of a 
reasonable return on that investment, new funds 
for future expansion will not be forthcoming. 

So, it is easy to see that earnings have an im- 
portant place in the future of telephone service 
for every Alabamian.

On The Farms Of 
Shelby County 

By B. F. Hatchett 

After two years Mr. Bennett 
Smith of Wilsonville, Route 1, is 
convinced and his work should 
convince others that rich pine post 
can be made from scrub pine 
trees. 

Two years ago in late January, 
Mr. Smith skinned several scrub 
pine trees leaving a strip of bark 
1 to 2 inches wide up and down 
the tree; on four sides. This allow- 
ed the tree to continue living. The 
rosin then ran out and sealed over 
the skinned part before worms and 
bugs came out in the spring, which 
would have killed them. 

The second year the rosin stay- 
ed in the center and entered the 
sap part making a rich pine post 
of them. These posts should last 
several times longer than oak or 
other posts obtainable in this area. 

Anyone interested in making 
fence posts, may see samples of 
these in the hall way of the old 
court house in Columbiana. 



Farmers in Shelby County are 
beginning to see the value of se- 
ricea lespedeza and kudzu as a 
temporary grazing crop as well as 
a hay crop. 

Last year during July, August, 
September, and October when pas- 
tures were furnishing very little 
grazing, several farmers turned 
their cows in on kudzu or sericea 
and in each case their cows prac- 
tically doubled in their milk pro- 
duction. Some of these farmers re- 
porting on one or both of these 
crops for grazing were P. A. Gar- 
rett of Calera, Floyd Green of Vin- 
cent, and Charlie Barnes of Wil- 
sonville. They say no better crops 
can be found for their land and 
their purpose, if properly fertiliz- 
ed and handled. 

Farmers can get sericea seed or 
kudzu crowns through the AAA up 
to three times their soil building 
payment on the farm. The cost to 
the farmer, through the AAA, will 
be approximately $2.00 per 1,000 
kudzu crowns and 10 cents per 
pound on sericea lespedeza. Place 
your order now with Oland Smith, 
your AAA County Administrative 
Officer. 

Several farmers in the county 
have sericea seed for sale. Anyone 
getting these seed or kudzu crowns 
other than through the AAA 
should get prior approval of the 
AAA County Committee before 
planting to get pay for it. 

If County Agent A. A. Lauder- 
dale, Assistant County Agent W. 
M. Clark, or Work Unit Conser- 
vationist B. F. Hatchett can help 
or advise you, call on them.

In THE picture at the left is Gomer D. Evans, Jr., viewing 
pine tree seedlings a year after they had been set out (in 1936) 
under the direction of his dad, forester for Alabama Power Com- 
pany. In the picture at the right, taken early this month, is 
young Evans at the same spot. The seedlings have grown into 
trees and the boy into a man — a veteran of the Philippines Cam- 
paign. Boys and pine trees do grow . . . fast ! 

The planting in the pictures is only one of the many made by 
Alabama Power Company on its lands. In the 7 years from 
1935 to 1942, nearly 7 million trees were planted on more than 
6,500 acres of land. Seedlings planted in 1935 now average 6 
inches in diameter breast-high from the ground, and are 25 to 30 
feet tall. In about 3 more years, they will be large enough for use 
as strong posts or as pulpwood for paper mills, one of Alabama's 
important industries. 

Members of the Alabama Forestry Council and the Forest 
Farmers Association Cooperative, meeting in Birmingham this 
month, stated as their objective "to make forest lands more se- 
cure and more profitable, and to get better forestry practiced 
in the woods." 

We are glad to add our endorsement of this objective to that of 
other land owners, editors, bankers, public officials and others 
who realize the value of the South's forest resources and the im- 
portance of conserving them through fire protection, intelligent 
harvesting and replanting.

A feature of the exercises will 
be awarding of the Bronze Star 
Medal to Capt. Charles Bailey, for 
his distinguished service in the 
Pacific war theatre. All other war 
\»eterans of this community who 
have received citations for their 
services will be given due recogni- 
tion on the program. 

Other Features Planned 

The foregoing are only a few of 
the general aspects of the program. 
Within the next few days full de- 
velopment of the plans for the oc- 
casion will be definitely made and 
more complete announcement will 
follow. 

For now, however, it is urged 
that every citizen in the vicinity of 
Montevallo put this date down and 
make plans to attend. And especial- 
ly is it desired that every man and 
woman who has seen service in the 
recent World War be present upon 
this occasion, which is designed in 
their honor. 



Henry C. Rikard has been dis- 
charged from the Marines and is

Elliott. 



New Bus Station 
Nears Completion 

The new Alabama Coaches bus 
station in Montevallo is nearing 
completion, and it is expected to 
be in operation near the first of 
March, according to Mr. Wyman 
Brown, manager. The garage is 
now in use. 

The building will have both 
white and colored waiting rooms 
and a cafe downstairs, which ac- 
cording to present plans, will be 
open 24 hours a day. There will be 
several offices and a private din- 
ing room on the second floor. 

A new bus schedule is being pre- 
pared, and will probably go into 
effect next week. 

Along with these improvements 
the company has just received a 
new Beck bus which will be in op- 
eration shortly. 



Power Company 
Plans Large Program 
Of Improvements 

The Board of Directors of Ala- 
bama Power Company has approv- 
ed construction expenditures of 
over eight million dollars for 1946 
to be expended for improvements, 
replacements and extensions. Of 
this amount, over four million 
dollars will be for rural electric 
lines and associated facilities to 
be built in 1946. By the end of 
1946 the company hopes to have 
built approximately 3,200 miles of 
new rural electric lines. This fig- 
ure includes those built the latter 
half of 1945. 

Thomas W. Martin, president of 
the company, stated that in 1946 
it will continue the joint experi- 
ment with the Southern Bell Tele- 
phone and Telegraph Company 
relative to rural telephone service. 

The power company 1946 budget 
provides for the purchase of var- 
ious new equipment to be installed 
at generating plants, a number of 
new sub-stations to increase cap- 
acities where needed, and the con- 
struction of other facilities to 
serve the increasing electrical needs 
of industrial, commercial, farm and 
residential customers.

The 



Monte valit Times 



VOL. XIII— NO. 42 



MONTEVALLO, ALABAMA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY ,7, 1946 



We Should Do Something About Our Roads 



(An Editorial) 



West Shelby County as a whole 
and the communities of Monte- 
vallo, Boothton and Siluria in par- 
ticular, are right now at grips with 
a bad road situation that affects 
our citizens all the way from mak- 
ing them mad to ashamed at the 
deplorable mess which may be 
found on most every road in this 
part of the county. 

The roads connecting Monte- 
vallo, Boothton, and Siluria are the 
life-lines of business for this sec- 
tion of the county. Right now 
those roads are as useless as a 
blood vessel of the body that has 
been freshly severed and rendered 
incapable of carrying the neces- 
sary normal flow of life sustaining 
fluid. 

If you start to Montevallo from 
Siluria, you get as far as the Grady 
place and there you stick in the 
mud. If you try to get over the 
road between Boothton and Mon- 
tevallo, there are numerous places 
that are impassable. If you tried to 
go from Boothton to Siluria, good- 
ness knows what might happen to 
you besides being unable to make 
the trip with ordinary ease, com- 
fort, wear and tear. 

This is a seasonal condition. It 



happens as many times a year as 
the weather chooses to take on a 
wet spell. 

We observe that people in this 
part of the county are getting 
mighty tired of such a condition. 
They are well fed up on the offi- 
cial assurance that there is nothing 
that can be done to prevent it. 
Folks know better than that and 
we think they have finally deter- 
mined to do something about it. 

Right now the woods are full of 
candidates for county office. Some 
of them are asking for the office 
of responsibility for the decent up- 
keep of our roads in District Two. 

Somewhere among the lot of as- 
pirants there should be one who will 
give this part of the county its 
just and fair share of road build- 
ing and maintenance. 

If there is such a candidate, let's 
find him and have an understand- 
ing about this matter. If there is 
not such a candidate in the run- 
ning, let's find one and put him in. 

We join with those who believe 
that we should and can have better 
roads in this section of Shelby 
County if and when we properly 
demand them. What do you say, 
Siluria and Boothton? 



Kite Fliers Asked To 
Avoid Power Lines 

Mr. W. M. Davis, local manager 
of Alabama Power Co., today ask- 
ed boys and girls flying kites not 
to fly them across power lines. Mr. 
Davis emphasized that this was a 
dangerous practice which could re- 
sult in injury or death if the kite 
or cord comes in contact with the 
power lines under certain condi- 
tions. The danger exists, said Mr. 
Davis, with any kind of cord, but 
is increased many times if the cord 
has tinsel or any other metallic 
substance in it. 

Even if injury does not result, 
power services can be disrupted, 
resulting in inconvenience and an- 
noyance to electricity users. 



Many Homes In 
County Need Repairs 

More than $689,000 is expected 
to be spent during the next five 
years by Shelby County home own- 
ers on remodeling and repair work. 

The year 1946 promises to in- 
augurate one of the greatest eras 
in American history for home re- 
pairs and modernization, according 
to estimates released by the Tile 
Council of America. "Few develop- 
ments will contribute more to em- 
ployment and general prosperity 
in any community," according to 
R. E. Jordan, chairman of the 
council's residential construction 
committee. 

Because of lack of materials and 
manpower during the war, major- 
ity of the county's 7,181 dwelling 
units are in need of some kind of 
repair or remodeling work. 



EDWARD BATTLE RECEIVES 
DISCHARGE 

Edward M. Battle, torpedo man, 
third class, son of Mr. and Mrs. 
L. A. Battle of Montevallo, has re- 
ceived his discharge from the navy 
after serving a total of 34 months, 
25 of them on sea duty. He served 
in the Pacific where he participat- 
ed in two major engagements and 
four invasions. 



STUDIOSIS AND FACULTY 
TO HOLD JOINT MEETING 

A joint meeting of the Faculty 
Organization and the Studiosis 
Club will be held in the Reynolds 
Theatre on the second floor of 
Reynolds Hall, on Tuesday even- 
ing, February 12, at 8:00 o'clock. 
The guest speaker will be Dr. Rob- 
ert J. Taylor, a member of the 
Southern Research Institute of 
Birmingham. His subject will be 
"New Developments in Industry in 
the South." There will be a tea af- 
terwards to which all are invited. 

The members of Studiosis are 
urged to be present at a business 
meeting on the same evening at 
7:15 o'clock. The meeting will be 
held in Room F, Reynolds Hall, an 
upstairs room over the Supply 
Store. 

The hostesses will be Mrs. Ibbic 
Jones Kerr, chairman; Mrs. Find- 
lay Cook, Dr. Farmer, Miss Mar- 
shall, Mrs. H. G. Parker, Mrs. 
Philpot, Mrs. Wallace, Mrs. Wild- 
er, Mrs. Fred Frost, Mrs. J. A. 
Brown, Mrs. R. F. Ray, and Miss 
Gulmer Wilson. 



DRAFT BOARD MOVES TO 
NEW OFFICE 

The office of Local Board No. 2 
of the Selective Service System 
has been moved from Dr. Hub- 
bard's building to the second floor 
of Dr. Mitchell's building on Main 
Street. The offices now occupied 
by the draft board are the ones 
which used to be the offices of 
Walter Shaw's Insurance Agency 
and the Bell Telephone exchange. 



Experiment Made In 
Rural Telephone 
Service Near Selma 

An important step in activities to 
expand rural telephone service was 
taken Monday, January 14, when 
engineers began public experiments 
near Selma with a scientific de- 
velopment of possible far-reaching 
significance to farm families who 
do not now have telephone service. 

In a joint test being conducted 
cooperatively by the Southern Bell 
Telephone Company and Alabama 
Power Company, in which four 
well-known residents of Suttle, a 
farm community near Selma, are 
also cooperating, an experimental 
system to provide rural telephone 
service over the same wires as 
those used for electricity was put 
to use. 

As the experiment started, in- 
formation concerning it was made 
public by H. L. Burgin, local man- 
ager of the Southern Bell Tele- 
phone Company, and Thomas W. 
Martin, president of Alabama Pow- 
er Company. 

The farmers cooperating are J. 
F. Suttle, Jr., J. A. Elam, P. M. 
Suttle, and E. B. Fuller. Mr. Ful- 
ler's telephone is in the general 
store which he operates. All four 
subscribers live on the Selma- 
Marion road. The first call over 
the new system was made by J. F. 
Suttle to a brother, Roger C. Sut- 
tle, of Gadsden. 

The power line carrier system of 
providing telephone service is de- 
signed especially for use in rural 
areas. Although the system is still 
in the experimental stage, it holds 
promise as one important means of 
extending farm telephone service 
to more and more farms served by 
power lines but remote from tele- 
phone wire lines. 



Miss Dorothy Jones 
Joins Music Faculty 

Miss Dorothy Jones of Lenoir, 
N. C, succeeds Mrs. Lavelle Jones

cum laude from the Greensboro 
College School of Music at Greens- 
boro, N. C, where she received the 
Bachelor of Music degree. In her 
senior year at college, Miss Jones 
was winner of the National Fed- 
erated Club's annual award for 
piano compositions. After comple- 
tion of her course in piano and 
organ at Greensboro she studied 
piano with Mark Hoffman. 

For several years, Miss Jones 
taught piano and public school mu- 
sic in the state schools of North 
Carolina and for the past two years 
instructed piano at the Methodist 
i Children's Home, Winston-Salem.

DOES MONTEVALLO NEED 
A NEW INDUSTRY? 

The Times has learned this week 
that it is possible for Montevallo to 
secure the location of a garment 
manufacturing plant here which 
will employ 75 to 100 local workers 
with a pay roll of fifty to one 
hundred thousand dollars a year. 

We could secure this new industry 
if we want it and if we are willing 
'to meet certain very reasonable 
requirements which the promoters 
of the industry ask on the part of 
the community. 

There is a building here that is 
suitable, adequate and available 
for the business. There are people 
in this vicinity who would be glad 
to secure the employment that 
would be possible for them. 

Our business houses could well 
afford to absorb the trade that 
would come to them from an addi- 
tional pay roll of a few thousand 
dollars each month. 

Columbiana has this week com- 
pleted arrangements for such an 
industry, and it is expected to be 
in operation within 30 days. 

Do we want and need the addi- 
tion of such an industry in this 
community ? 

Our answer is yes. What do you 
say? 



IS THAT OUR ATTITUDE? 

Shelby County roads seem to be 
gaining as much recognition as 
our famous moonshine. Wednesday 
morning the Alabama Coaches bus 
from Birmingham to Montevallo 
made very good time until it reach- 
ed the dirt road at Siluria. The 
driver, "Pluto" Wilson, finally 
coached the bus as far as the old 
Grady home, where a large truck 
had given up the battle and slid 
in the ditch, making it impossible 
for the bus to pass. Well, Pluto, 
being a patient fellow, didn't mind 
backing up two miles to turn 
around, then going back to Moore's 
Cross Roads, and finally into Mon- 
tevallo via Spring Creek. 

It was along the Spring Creek 
road that an elderly gentleman on 
the bus exclaimed, "You know, 
these Shelby County people remind 
me of the Negro who was selling 
a white man a mule. The white 
man looked the mule over good and 
asked the Negro, 'How's this mule's 
eyes?' 

" 'Oh, dat mule's got good eyes, 
boss, good eyes. Yes suh,' declared 
the would-be sellor. Well, the sale 
was finally completed and when 
the Negro slipped the halter off 
the mule, first thing the mule did 
was walk into a brick building. 

"The man turned to the Negro 
and said, 'I thought you said that 
mule had good eyes.' 

"The Negro then answered, 'Oh, 
that mule's got good eyes, boss, he 
just don't give a damn!'" 



SO THAT'S WHERE HE HID! 

Now that the war's over and we 
don't have to depend on OPA cer- 
tificates for tires, tubes, and gas 
ariy more, we think it's safe to 
print the following story which 
is supposed to have happened in 
Shelby County: 

In a small country store a group 
of tobacco spitting men sat around 



a stove discussing whether or not 
Hitler was dead. After quite a 
lengthy discussion on the subject, 
one of the men, who evidently 
was having trouble getting tires, 
tubes, gas, Or some other OPA- 
controlled commodity, exclaimed : 

"Shucks no, Hitler ain't dead. 
He's over here at the county seat 
in charge of that rationing board!" 



OUR PLATFORM 

We didn't hanker to run for 
Representative in the legislature 
again until so many good people 
from all sections of the county in- 
sisted, so we have carefully studied 
and concluded our platform when 
we announce. It will be like this :

LIEUT. KATHERINE! 

At home last week end after two 
years nursing ill and wounded 
soldiers was Lieutenant Katherine 
McKinney, of the U. S. Army 
Nurse Corps. Right up front in the 
thick of it, from the invasion of 
Hitler's impregnable fortress beaches 
to the frozen mud and blood of the 
Rhine crossings, Katherine fought 
for the lives of her wounded sold- 
iers, cheered their drooping spirits 
with her ever-ready smile and 
cheery voice, suffered cold and 
blood, endured heat and sand and 
dust — and loved it all. 

After victory she was put on tours 
of nearly every country and resort 
with groups of hospital personnel

To Voters of the 18th Judicial Circuit: 



You will find in another column 
of this paper my announcement as 
candidate for election to the office 
of Circuit Judge of this Circuit in 
the Democratic primaries to be 
held May 7th and June 4, 1946. 

I was born and reared on the 
farm. I am 59 years old, married, 
a Methodist and a Democrat. I at- 
tended public school in Clay, Tal- 
lapoosa, and Chambers Counties. I 
entered the old Lineville College 
of Lineville after I was twenty- 
one years of age. After one year 
there I went to the University of 
Alabama at Tuscaloosa, complet- 
ing five years work in four in 
that institution, receiving my B. S. 
degree in 1912. The following year 
I enrolled at Yale University, New 
Haven, Connecticut, received my 
A. B. degree from there in 1913, 
and then entered the Yale Law 
School of Yale University and com- 
pleted my law course in 1915. I 
worked my way through both uni- 
versities. Immediately after finish- 
ing college, I came to Ashland and 
practiced law until 1928, when I 
was elected Circuit Judge. In 1935 
I went back into the practice of 
law in Ashland, Alabama. I have 
never held public office except 
served two terms on the State 
Democratic Executive Committee 
(without pay) and one term (6 
years) as Circuit Judge. When I 



was campaigning, I made three 
promises to the voters, to-wit: 

1st. Cleaning of the dockets. 

2nd. Prompt and speedy trials. 

3rd. Strict economy in the op- 
erations of our courts. 

I am now asking the voters to 
again nominate me on the same 
campaign promises and asking you 
if my record does not bear out my 
every promise. Everyone who at- 
tended our courts, while I was 
Judge, will agree that I cleared the 
dockets, I gave prompt and speedy 
trials, and that I saved the tax- 
payers of the three counties in 
this Circuit thousands of dollars 
each year, due to the manner, 
promptness, and speed in disposing 
of the cases on the dockets and 
holding the courts. I will assure 
you that if nominated and elected 
to this responsible office that I 
will use every effort as I did in 
the past, that fairness and prompt- 
ness will be given to all and that 
every person gets justice, irrespec- 
tive of his standing in his com- 
munity or his station in life. 

With profound gratitude to all 
who will give me their vote and 
influence and with respect for all 
people I am 

Sincerely yours, 

E. P. GAY

In Memory Of Mrs. 

In the early morning hours of 
December 9th, after she had en- 
dured a long and painful illness, 
the doors of Paradise swung wide 
to receive the spirit of Julia Poy- 
nor Hardy, the wife of the late 
Fred Henry Hardy of Newala, 
Alabama. Being a true Christian of 
strong faith and free from all fear 
of death, she was ready for this 
change from the twilight of the 
present into the dawn of the fu- 
ture. She felt that she had finish- 
ed her day's work here, that it 
was time to begin the intellectual 
use of the mind, unrestricted by her 
weary body, in the pure spiritual 
life. 

Julia Ann was born in Eutaw, 
Alabama, but at a very early age 
was carried by her parents, Capt. 
and Mrs. Diggs Poynor, to Mt. 
Hebron, Alabama. Here with her 
brothers, Wilmer Smith, David 
Thomas, Dudley Diggs, and her 
sisters, Lelia Cook (adopted), Eliza 
Mary, Sallie Clifton, Mattie Vir- 
ginia, and Lelia Kate, she spent a 
happy childhood and grew into 
lovely womanhood. Being a person 
of unusual intellectual ability, re- 
markable talent in music and a 
keen zest for life, she was often 
the center of interest of whatever 
group she joined. When preparing 
her lessons in her childhood, she 
would often cry if she could not 
understand very quickly something 
difficult. It was "Tedie" who help- 
ed her on one such occasion until 
she had completely mastered the 
intricases of Cube Root. So it was 
in all her studies and music. She 
was satisfied only with the very 
best of work of which she was 
capable. She had a remarkable ap- 
titude for imparting knowledge. At 
a very early age, about 16, she 
taught school as a governess for 
some months. Likewise, she taught 
her younger sister, brother, and 
cousin one winter, though the dif- 
ference in their ages was but 
slight. There was no playing in this 
teaching; all worked. About this 
time, between the age of 16 and 
18, she took the State Examina- 
tion for a First Grade Certificate 
and secured it. 

In September of her 19th year 
she entered the University of Ala- 
bama. Since she did not have the 
money necessary for college, nor 
did the family, she borrowed from 
a neighbor, Mr. C. L. Wilson, only 
so much as she thought she would 
need for one year. All greatly ad- 
mired her aspiration and ambition 
for a college education and her 
courage in assuming the responsi- 
bility of the undertaking. Entering 
the sophomore class, she showed 
her native ability and careful train- 
ing under her mother, father, and 
older sister, by making a brilliant 
record that year. The University 
then lent her the money for the 
next two year's work. Finding a 
little poem that was helpful, she 
wrote the first two lines of it in 
each of her books one year as a 
slogan : "Aim high, aim high, if 
you would do well, Aim for the 
highest, if you would excel." This 
she put into practice in her daily 
living. For three years she made the 
honor roll. 

Julia Ann, as her college mates 
called her, loved football and base- 
ball and the year that she served 
as a sponsor was a proud and hap- 
py one for her. She was popular 
with professors and classmates. Af- 
ter receiving her A. B. degree, she 
entered the profession of teaching. 
She kept her chosen motto in mind 
and was a successful teacher. Her 
first care was to pay back the 
money she had borrowed. When 
she had taught one year each in 
Union Springs, Wetumpka, and 
Dothan, Dr. T. W. Palmer, presi- 
dent of what is today Alabama, 
College, offered her the chair of 
Latin. She gladly accepted this 
position and greatly enjoyed 



Julia Poynor Hardly 

teaching in the college with her 
beloved mathematics teacher of her 
own college days. Indeed, she was 
almost like a member of Dr. Palm- 
er's family, though she lived in 
the dormitory. Here in Montevallo, 
she made many lifelong and devoted 
friends. 

Once again in 1914-15, she made 
a brave adventure for she asked 
for a leave of absence and took her 
hard-earned and scanty store of 
money and went to Columbia Uni- 
versity to complete her work, be- 
gun several summers before, for 
her master's degree. It was a happy 
day for her when she marched with 
the vast procession wearing her 
gown, with its crimson and white 
hood, to get her M. A. degree. 

Julia Ann was wont in the later 
years of her life to speak of certain 
days or events as mile posts along 
her journey of life. Of these sev- 
eral have been mentioned but one 
has been overlooked : namely the 
night on which she was taken into 
the Phi Beta Kappa society at the 
University of Alabama. During her 
college days she had dreamed of 
such an honor, but had not ex- 
pected it, for there was not a 
chapter at the University during 
those years. Thus, it was for her a 
most happy occasion to be one of 
the very first groups called back 
to be so honored by her Alma 
Mater. Her Phi Beta key from that 
time was one of her most loved 
posessions. 

In the summer of 1917 on the 
21st of June, her birthday anniver- 
sary, she married Fred Henry 
Hardy of Newala. From her home 
in Mt. Hebron, where the lovely 
wedding had taken place, she and 
Mr. Hardy went on their wedding 
trip to places of interest in New 
York, his native state. On their re- 
turn to Newala, her new life as 
wife and as mother to the four 
Hardy children, Agnes, John, Em- 
ily, and Fred, began — truly a new 
mile post. As she had always been 
loyal to duty to the very best of 
her ability, so to this new order of 
life she paid her highest devotion. 
On May 14, 1918, twin sons, Jul- 
ian Patterson and James Daniel, 
were born. These two babies nat- 
urally soon became the center 
around which much of the life of 
the family revolved. The older 
children were proud of them and 
devoted to them. You may be sure 
that these were most busy days 
for Julia. The most of the time 
there was no servant and looking 
after a family of eight, two of them 
twin babies, was no small job. With 
unfailing courage and loyalty, she 
carried on and the family became 
even more unified by sharing to- 
gether the varied experiences of 
family life. In November of 1919 
William Taylor Hardy was born. 
Now the family was complete. 

Julia's ambition to do well in all 
she undertook for herself mani- 
fested itself anew in her ambition 
for her seven children. These were 
hard days often, yet happy days. In 
that home there were neuer any 
dull moments. Already Agnes was 
beginning classes in the high school 
division of Alabama College. Emily 
was in Auburn with "Cokie" John 
and little Fred in school. 

Finally it was time for Julian, 
James, and Taylor to begin school. 
Three little desks were bought; 
regular hours were set aside for 
school, and regular work was done, 
Julia being the teacher — another 
mile post. With the aid of "The 
World Books of Knowledge," al- 
though she had never taught pri- 
mary work, she gave them a good 
foundation for future learning. She 
read and told to them stories from 
the Bible, Latin and Greek myth- 
ology, Mother Goose, and all the 
little books that children love. They 
learned many songs and on Easter 
mornings would gather on the 
front steps and sing" Easter hymns 
to Grandmother Poynor in Mt. 



Hebron, Ala. After a few ' years, 
Mr. Hardy donated land for a 
school to be built just a short dis- 
tance from his home. The school 
was built and the little boys went 
to the Newala school. When these 
boys had begun to attend school 
in Montevallo, once again Julia 
was asked to teach Latin in the 
college three days each week. While 
she realized that this would take 
her from home where she always 
had plenty to do, yet taking a 
long-range view of the situation, 
she felt it was a real opportunity 
not to be overlooked. Educating 
even children was no small under- 
taking and Mr. Hardy, wonderful 
as he was, would need some help. 

Later, when the older children 
were nearly through college, since 
again Latin was not offered at the 
college, Mrs. Hardy began to 
teach in the Montevallo High 
School, which is under the college 
management. 

In October of 1941 Mr. Hardy 
died. Mrs. Hardy was most lonely. 
Agnes, John, and Emily were all 
married and had homes of their 
own. Fred was out of college and 
away from home at work. Julian 
and James were in medical school 
at the University of Pennsylvania ; 
Taylor, not quite through his last 
year of the study of law at the 
University of Alabama. John was 
the only son near-by. Bravely she 
went through with Taylor's mar- 
riage just before Christmas. In a 
few months Fred married. John 
tried to take his father's place as 
head of the family as best he could, 
and all appreciated him the more 
for this. Courageous as she tried 
to be, Julia said, herself, that she 
was never the same after Mr. 
Hardy left them. Something of her 
spirit seemed to have gone from 
her with him. 

For several years she struggled 
on to keep the home for all to 
come to and to feel at home. It 
was very hard to get a suitable 
person to stay with her, so fin- 
ally, when all were through col- 
lege, the children persuaded her to 
break up the home and move into 
Montevallo. Only those who were 
with her during those sad days of 
packing and sending away all the 
household furnishings and leaving 
her home with all its sweet asso- 
ciations and memories will ever be- 
gin even to understand how she 
suffered. Here at Newala, her en- 
tire married life had been spent. 
She loved it dearly. This was a mile 
stone indeed. As she said, another 
chapter in her life was closed. For 
a while, she fondly hoped that she 
would someday have another home 
to which all her children, to whom 
she was so devoted, of whom she 
was so proud, and her grandchild- 
ren could come. 

She was most fortunate and this 
she realized fully in finding a house 
with her friends and former stu- 
dents, Eloise and Mildred Meroney. 
She was close to John and Ger- 
trude, and though she did not have 
a "home" of her own, the children 
still felt that where "Mamma" or 
Mother was was home. All felt 
that with life so changed, if she 
enjoyed teaching, perhaps she was 
happier doing this work than she 
would be without it. She loved and 
enjoyed her pupils, her fellow 
teachers, and her friends of long 
standing. It was only by exercising 
her will power and sense of loyalty 
to duty to the uttermost that she 
was able to complete the second 
semester of 1944-45. Although she 
had suffered from headaches more 
or less all her life, this malady be- 
came extremely acute at times dur- 
ing this last year. One day she 
said to John, "John, if I am going 
to be sick and need someone to 
stay with me, I want you to help 
me find a place where I can have 
someone." 

How it warmed her heart when 
his reply came without the slight- 
est hesitation, "Don't worry, Moth- 
er, Gertrude and I have that all 



arranged. You will stay with us." 
It was with them that she spent 
September and the first three 
weeks of October. With love they 
did all in their power for her com- 
fort and happiness. In her illness, 
friends, doctors, and nurses were 
loyal, sweet, and kind to her. They 
all spoke of her never failing to 
express her gratitude for the slight- 
est service. She felt in the early 
summer that she would not live 
long, but she desired most earn- 
estly to see her sons, James and 
Julian, who were in Europe, safe 
in the United States once again. 
She wanted to see all her children 
once more. When James had come 
home, Emily and her family had 
come from Florida to see her, Tay- 
lor and his family from California, 
all those nearer had come and 
finally Julian, who had been away 
for so long, her prayer had been 
granted and hearing her Father's 
call, she softly left this earth for 
our Father's House of Many Man- 
sions. A glorious, wonderful life, 
which had been an inspiration to 
many, had won its reward ! 

Friends writing said : "Julia was 
ever loyal to her Fdeals, devoted to 
her family, a wonderful mother." 

"I find it hard to realize my dear 
teacher and loyal friend, Mrs. Har- 
dy, is with us no more. I feel that 
she is happy with other loved ones 
where pain is no more and I know 
she is enjoying the blessings and 
rewards she so richly deserves for 
the unselfish, useful life she lived. 
I shall miss her happy, bright face ; 
her sweet memories will linger with 
me always." 

"Julia Ann had lived out a full 
and rich life. Those fine children 
of hers are a splendid thing to 
have contributed to the world, and 
I mean not only the three younger 
ones, but the others also whom 
she welded into a family group in 
an achievement I have never seen 
equaled. She was essentially one 
of the most unselfish people I have 
ever known, and these fine quali- 
ties were such a rare combination 
with her outstanding scholarship 



and love of the intellectual." 

"She was a lovely friend and of- 
ten times I felt that she slipped 
into mother's place." 

"She was a devoted mother and 
did a wonderful part by her seven 
children. Somehow I know her 
crown will be filled with many jew- 
els." 

"One always knew where she 
stood and that was on the side of 
absolute truth and sincerity." 

"I know that Mrs. Hardy will 
live on in many lives which she 
has touched during her work on 
this earth." 

"She was always ready to help 
one in any difficulty ; her devotion 
to duty had no limit. With courage 
and faith she would tackle the 
hardest problems." 

"Through suffering she had 
learned how to sympathize with 
and comfort others." 

"I know that if anybody has a 
place in Heaven, Mother has. Cer- 
tainly, Mother was one of the best 
people who ever lived." 

"No one can ever take Mrs. 
Hardy's place. Those rare qualities, 
which were hers are not often 
found." 

"Mrs. Hardy was so proud of,, 
so loyal to her splendid children. 
With pride she would speak of my 
son, John, my daughter, Agnes, 
and tell of the honors Fred re- 
ceived at Auburn. She always had 
something very special to say of 
each one and their wives or hus- 
bands."

Grover C. Walker Is 
Candidate For 
The State Senate 

Hon. Grover C. Walker of Clan- 
ton is a candidate for State Sen- 
ator in this, the Fifteenth Dis- 
trict, composed of the counties of 
Autauga, Chilton and Shelby. His 
announcement in the forthcoming 
Democratic primary appears in 
The Times this week. 

We are pleased to note that Mr. 
Walker is offering his services to 
our district in this important leg- 
islative office. He will do a good 
job of it. He has had legislative 
experience by his service in the 
House representing Chilton Coun- 
ty. He already knows his way 
about the state capital. 

By nature, instinct, and good 
character, Grover Walker is the 
kind of a man who is able and 
capable of representing his people 
in their law-making councils. He 
is a good, honest common sort of 
fellow, just one of us typical 
country boys who has tried hard 
to amount to something' worth- 
while in life. And he has done it. 

He has been a successful lawyer 
in Clanton for many years. He 
came there fresh from the plow- 
handles of Coosa County, via the 
law school of the University of 
Alabama. He has established a 
long and enviable record as a 
good citizen, and he can be trusted 
in the State Senate to represent 
the interests of good, progressive 
citizenship in our district and in 
our State.

The meeting will be at Alabama 
College, where dinner will be serv- 
ed in the new dining room.

Dr. Acker Thanks 
Fire Department 

Dr. Charles T. Acker expresses 
for himself and all other occupants 
of the house, their thanks to the 
Montevallo volunteer fire depart- 
ment for'their prompt and effi- 
cient work in overcoming the fire 
which seriously threatened their 
building last Thursday. 

"It was the prompt, efficient, 
and cool-headed work of the fire 
fighters that saved our building 
from total destruction," said Dr. 
Acker to The Times, "and we ask 
you to express publicly through 
the paper our heartiest apprecia- 
tion to them." 



Sara Denney Is A 
Delegate To 
UNO Conference 

Miss Sara Denney, graduate of 
Alabama College in 1945, sailed on 
the Queen Elizabeth with the 
American delegation to the United 
Nations Organization conference in 
London. The State Department 
called for secretaries from each 
government agency to attend the 
conference, and Miss Denney was 
selected from the staff of the 
Personnel Division of the Office 
of Inter-American Affairs. 

In a recent letter Miss Denney 
writes : 

"I am acting as secretary to 
three of the political advisers of 
the delegation, and we are work- 
ing very hard. I attended the last 
General Assembly of UNO, and 
heard speeches by the delegate 
of Lebanon, delegate of Egypt, 
and M. Bidault of France. It was 
exciting to see all of the impor- 
tant people, but I must say that 
the Saudi Arabians were the most 
colorful and interesting in their 
bright native costumes." 

Miss Denney graduated from 
Alabama College in May, 1945, and 
was prominent in student activitits 
throughout her college career. Her 
home is in Wadley, Ala.

High Wind Does 
Slight Damage 
Here Wednesday

slight damage to garages and other 
buildings on the south side of 
town. The ice plant sustained dam- 
age to its roof, several trees were 
uprooted, and garages and other 
outbuildings in that vicinity were 
partially unroofed. 

According to reports from Wil- 
ton, serious damage was inflicted 
on the store building of B. B. 
Curry & Co. Telephone and light 
wires in Wilton also suffered 
heavily from the high winds. 



All returned veterans in the vi- 
cinity of Montevallo are especially

Montevallo's gesture of apprecia- 
tion to our boys and girls who 
have served in and come back from 
the war. Your presence is, there-

Fred R. McCIendon 
Is Candidate For 
Board Of Revenue 

Readers of The Times, will note 
with interest this week the an- 
nouncement of Mr. Fred R. Mc- 
CIendon, of Maylene, as a candi- 
date for Member of the Shelby 
County Board of Revenue in Dis- 
trict 2. This is the office now held 
by Mr. Tatum. 

Mr. McCIendon is a man of ex- 
perience in lines of work that will 
make him well qualified to handle 
the road business, which is a most 
important part of the duties of a 
member of the Board of Revenue. 

During the WPA days he was 
superintendent of this county's 
program for street improvement. 
In this capacity one of the notable 
pieces of good work he did was 
the paving, curbing and gutters 
of the streets in Columbiana. 

Mr. McCIendon has lived in this, 
county about fifteen years, and he 
has a knowledge of conditions and 
needs of the county, and an ac- 
quaintance with and an interest in 
the people of the county, all of 
which indicates an ability to fill 
this office with credit. 

Mr. McCIendon says, if elected, 
he will devote Ms entire time to 
the duties of the office, with es- 
pecial attention to the problem of 
improving and maintaining the 
roads in this district.

This Is America 



McCLENDON SAYS HE IS 
WITH US ON ROAD QUESTION 

Is response to the mention made 
by The Times last week concerning 
the bad roads situation in this 
part of the county, Mr. Fred Mc- 
Clendon promptly volunteered his 
agreement with us. He said: 

"I am a candidate for member 
of the County Board of Revenue 
in this district. If the people see 
fit to elect me to this office, it 
will be my official responsibility 
to handle your road problems. I 
am g-lad to say that I realize the 
perfectly justifiable interest which 
the people of this district have in 
demanding better road mainten- 
ance. If elected to the office, I will 
see that we get what we should 
have in this part of the county. 

"I congratulate The Times for 
speaking out on this subject. I 
know that many citidens agree 
with what you said. I agree with 
you myself. Something must be 
done about it. The way to get the 
right thing done is to elect a man 
who will do it. I offer myself as 
that man, because I am one of 
your citizens who realizes with 
you the importance of our roads in 
the business life of this part of 
our county." 

That is good, plain, straight 
talk from candidate McClendon. 
He has hit straight at the heart of 
our problem over here in the 
''backwoods" of District Two. His 
ready response and evident sin- 
cerity is impressive. Likewise, his 
past record indicates that he has 
had experience in the kind of work 
that must be done to pull us out 
of the mudholes in West Shelby.

To My Friends and Voters of Shelby 
County, Second District 

If elected as your representative on the Board of 
Revenue, I pledge myself to devote my full time to sup- 
ervision and maintenance of all roads in my district. 
I have made no promises to any individual but I will 
give each road my closest attention and consideration. 
I wholeheartedly endorse the extensive post-war paving 
program and will work diligently to give Shelby County 
the best road building program in its history. 

I propose to get new equipment as soon as machinery 
and funds are available and will employ the best men 
available to operate this equipment under my supervision. 

On my past record as a foreman and superintendent 
of extensive programs in this county for nine years, I am 
asking my friends to honor me as their representative 
on the County Board of Revenue from the Second Dis- 
trict.

NOT According To Plan 



OlJR PLANS for 1946 included getting electric 
service to approximately 2500 new electric customers 
per month. The best we are able to do under exist- 
ing conditions is to connect about 1800 per month. 
The number connected will be even fewer if necessary 
equipment and materials are not received and we are 
unable to get the skilled men necessary to build them 
into lines, substations and other facilities. 

If you are among the many persons who have ap- 
plied for, but have not received, electric service, you 
are entitled to know why. Here are the reasons: 

1. We need more men with special skills. Five hun- 
dred of our employees are still in military service. 

2. We have received only a few of the many trucks 
and cars ordered months ago, but not nearly enough 

- for a construction program of the size we have plan- 
ned. The delivery of suitable construction trucks and 
other needed automotive equipment has been stopped 
by strike?. 

3. Much electrical equipment and material is neces- 
sary for a construction program of this size. A con- 
siderable part of it was ordered over a year ago, and 
all of it was ordered months in advance. Strikes and 
other conditions over which we have no control have 
prevented or delayed the delivery of much of this 
equipment. Even if factory conditions improve, in- 
creased delivery of materials and equipment cannot 
start for some weeks — months in some cases. 

The return of some of our engineers from military 
service has made it possible for us to increase our 
engineering staff, although we are still short. As 
additional skilled employees are released from mili- 
tary service, they will be re-employed. However, 
without adequate deliveries of equipment, material 
and supplies, we can't extend service to as many cus- 
tomers per month as we had planned, nor can we 
employ as many persons as we would need. 

We are as eager to get your business as you are to 
use electricity, and will do everything possible to get 
our service to you as soon as conditions will permit.

outstanding* alumnae will be named 
"The Alumna of the Year." 

Homecoming activities are ar-

Scott '31), from Birmingham, is 
president, Mrs. J. Howard Jones, 
from Mobile, is vice-president, Miss

Letter to the Editor 

Editor, The Times : 

You will find below a letter ad- 
dressed to our Senators and Rep- 
resentative Jarman. 

An Open Letter to Ou/ 
Congressmen : 

The people, through Congress, 
hope to remove the roadblocks to 
reconversion, and prosperity in the 
long-range interests of all : 

1. By establishing a labor policy 
that will treat labor and manage- 
ment exactly alike, and above all 
be fair to the public (we repeat 
TO THE PUBLIC) ; 

2. By removing the shackles of 
price control on manufactured 
goods ; 

3. By cutting "down on govern- 
ment spending NOW ajid balanc- 
ing the Federal budget by the 1947 
fiscal year at a level of income and 
outgo that taxpayers can stand. 

Do you believe this program is 
in the public interest or does your 
fear of organized labor submerge 
the consideration of the public? 

Our Representatives in Congress 
are the only ones that can put it 
into effect. We are writing them 
how we feel about it. Incidentally, 
many of us favor a four or six 
year tenure of office for public- 
minded Congressmen who con- 
sider the rights of the public as 
well as the demands of labor and 
management. 

With renewed assurance of my 
highest personal regards and best 
wishes, I am 

Very truly yours, 

CHARLES T. ACKER

Another candidate for Member 
of the Board of Revenue has 
pledged himself to get District Two 
out of the mud. He is Mr. Wilson 
Durden. 

On a visit to The Times office

assurance that he knows what it 
takes to make and keep good roads 
in this part of the county and he 
declares he will do it if the people 
down here will give him the job. 

Mr. Durden is well known in 
the district and has many friends 
who are backing him strongly. He 
made the race four years ago and 
made a good race too. This time 
he hopes to make the grade ; and 
if he does, we certainly hope he 
will stick to his promise to get 
District Two out of the mud.

Honoring Local Veterans Of World War II 



Dance Trio Will 
Perform At College 

The Dudley-Maslow-Bales dance 
trio appears at Alabama College 
on Monday, February 25, at 8:15 
p.m. in Palmer Auditorium. Jane 
Dudley, Sophie Maslow, and Wil- 
liam Bales have distinguished them- 
selves as interpreters of the mod- 
ern dance and their work reaches 
the real heart of both native and 
contemporary things. The dance 
trio started with the idea that the 
dance is a form of drama. Song, 
poetry, instruments, and all the- 
atrical devices are employed to 
clarify and develop this concep- 
tion. In one of the numbers, on the 
program to be given Monday ev- 
ening, dialogue is an important 
part of the dance and is spoken 
from a huge book on stage. Sev- 
eral of America's prominent young 
composers have lent their talents 
in the creating of music for these 
dances.

service uniforms.

Legion, the Legion Auxiliary, tne

Advertising Figures 

Advertising is an interesting sub- 
ject, particularly to newspaper edi- 
tors. 

We often have people ask us 
what a full page ad in various pub- 
lications costs. Here are a few fig- 
ures that aren't intended to be of 
much benefit to Baldwin merchants 
who are planning their advertising 
budgets. 

The outside back cover of the 
Saturday Evening Post in four 
colors extracts a cash outlay of 
$15,000, an ad inside in four colors 
only fetches $12,000. The Ladies 
Home Journal would send you a bill 
for $15,700 if you contracted for an 
outside back page in four colors 
and $12,500 for an inside page in 
four colors but if you were a little 
stingy and agreed to an inside 
page in black and white it would 
only cost you $9,200. 

It would take $3,844 to buy a full 
page in the Sunday Chicago Trib- 
une and a like space in the New 
York Times Sunday edition is 
$3,360. A similar page in this jour- 
nal couldn't be bought at any price 
as we don't publish on Sundays, 
as yet. 

If you wanted thirty minutes 
time, and many do, on the Ameri- 
can Broadcasting Company net- 
work, you would have to hand 
over $5,820. The same time on NBC 
would be $7,296. This, of course, is 
in addition to the cost of the 
talent (?) the advertiser employs. 

And the moral to this is that none 
of the above mediums can reach 
the Baldwin County market one 
iota as well as The Baldwin Times 
and a full page ad in The Times 
runs somewhat lower than the 
above figures. — Baldwin Times. 



Sgt. Earl McGaughy has been 
discharge from the army after 40 
months service. He is at home for 
a while, pending plans for the fu- 
ture.

CHARLES DOBBINS 

The Montgomery Advertiser roll- 
ed a natural when they placed 
Charles G. Dobbins in the editorial 
chair. It was a hard point to make 
with the name of Grover Hall on 
the dice. Throughout Alabama the 
selection of Dobbins will be re- 
ceived with acclaim and reassur- 
ance. 

Somehow The Advertiser cannot 
be itself to its "family" without 
the name of a strong, able, per- 
sonable individual at the masthead 
of its editorial column. After so 
many years with the names of 
Frank Glass, Bill Sheehan. Bill 
Screws, and Grover Hall up there, 
The Advertiser simply cannot 
click with anonymous editors. That 
may be all right for some of the 
bigger papers, but when readers of 
The Advertiser soak up an edi- 
torial they demand before they 
start to know the man that wrote 
it. 

Charles Dobbins can and will 
fill the void that has existed in 
The Advertiser since Grover Hall 
laid down his pen. 

He is a young man of ability, 
education, training and personal 
charm. He attracts people from a 
distance and he becomes more at- 
tractive and likable the closer you 
get to him. His acquaintance in 
Alabama is wide and altogether 
favorable. He will do for The Ad- 
vertiser just what it needs to re- 
turn it to that place where it be- 
longs in the field of Alabama 
journalism — a strong newspaper of 
individuality, a voice of the people 
of our State from the State Capi- 
tal. 

(Note to the circulation depart- 
ment : Please start sending us The 
Advertiser again March 1.) 



A Little Powder, A Little Paiht- 
May Make A Gal What She Ain't! 



WHAT SHOULD SMALL 
INDUSTRIES COST US? 

Several months ago two of our 
local boys saw the need of a laun- 
dry for our community. I never 
heard anything of a request for 
free rent or exemption from the 
norma! and usual taxation. The 
building was put up by a man who 
wanted to have income producing 
property -as well as help the boys 
and the town. 

Several years ago some home 
boys began in a small way operat- 
ing passenger bus service to Ca- 
lera and Birmingham. The business 
grew and prospered until those 
boys are today erecting a modern 
bus station with restaurant, rest 
rooms, repair and shelter buildings. 
The largest payroll we have and 
no requests for special favors that 
Fve ever heard of. Must we give 
everything on a speculative propo- 
sition? What is a reasonable amount 
of local aid to secure small indus- 
tries over and above the most 
healthful and attractive location in 
the state, including abundance of 
water, perfect drainage, and other 
natural advantages that have more 
than financial value? 

CHARLES T. ACKER 



Our good friend Dr. Charles 
Acker questions the advisability of 
Montevallo offering inducements to 
any industry to come here. In so 
doing we believe the doctor over- 
looks what is one of the greatest 
"secrets of success" in every phase 
of present-day life and progress. 

What would anything, any place, 
or anybody amount to without 
putting on a little extra induce- 
ment ? 

We accept the conclusion that 
Montevallo, with its natural ad- 
vantages, is good enough a place 
for anything — but we cannot rest 
upon that assurance alone and hope 
to cope with other towns and com- 
munities in the race to get things 
that will do us good. 

Besides their natural advantages, 
other towns are offering Tom 
Phillips and Henry Johnson some 
extra inducements to get them to 
locate one of their factory units. 
Why should we not do so? It cer- 
tainly would be worth our expense 
and time in doing so. 

Why, Doctor, even the prettiest 
girl in the country would not think 
of depending only upon her in- 
stinctive beauty and natural per- 
sonal charms to catch her man. She 
will spend considerable time and 
money each and every day for 
some gadget or concoction that will 
give her additional inducement. 
And what of the less fortunate sis- 
ter who does not have those in- 
stinctive personal charms? Why, 
she may, by the clever use of ad- 
ditional inducements, win the prize 
suitor of her set. 

And now, Doctor, my good 
friend, look at your own self. You 
are handsome, likable, attractive, 
always immaculate. What would 
you be like if you did not spend 
those few hours putting on a 
little extra camouflage? You would 



look no better than the town 
printer who most generally is 
smeared with ink and overdue for 
a shave. 

Let us not stumble over the 
question of offering inducements. 
If we do, some other town will be 
off with the garment factory be- 
fore we get to our feet again. 

You would not fish with a naked 
hook. The hook is the natural ad- 
vantage, however. You would bait 
the hook with the juciest worm in 
the can. The worm is the "induce- 
ment." 

And, more than that, I think af- 
ter you have baited the hook with 
the best worm possible, you will 
certainly never lose anything by 
spitting on it when you throw it in 
the water. 

Wipe off your windshield up 
there, Doctor. Something is keep- 
ing you from seeing clearly down 
the road.

'Miss' on my tombstone when I 
die, for I haven't missed as much 
as you think I have !"

LACK OF TRUCKS AND CARS 
DELAYING EXTENSION OF 
ELECTRIC SERVICE 



To carry out our construction program 
for 1946, we will need 155 new trucks and 
automobiles. Some of these are to replace 
equipment worn out during the war — others 
will be additions to our fleet. Most of the 
trucks will need special bodies and equip- 
ment adapted to electric line construction 
and maintenance work. 

More than half of our proposed construc- 
tion program is in rural areas. Poles, wire 
and other equipment must be hauled to the 
locations where they are to be assembled. 
Workmen must have transportation to and 
from these jobs. 

Thus, even though we had all the equip- 
ment and materials necessary, the lack of 
enough transportation would make it im- 
possible to carry the construction program 
forward as quickly as you and we would 
like. 

Orders for the needed automotive equip- 
ment were placed months ago. Only a few 
of the units ordered have been delivered. 
Delivery of others has been held up by 
strikes. 

If you are an applicant for electric serv- 
ice, we wint you to know that we are doing 
everything possible to get service to you 
as soon as conditions will permit.

In Twenty-Eighth College Night Show

Montevallo girls contributed ma- 
terially to the College Night pro- 
duction. For the winning Purples,

Dr. M. L. Orr, head of the de- 
partment of education and director 
of summer school at Alabama Col- 
lege.

Lieutenant Governor L. H. Ellis Addresses 
Citizens Meeting in Montevallo Last Sunday 
Honoring Returned War Veterans 



Address given by Lieutenant- 
Governor Handy Ellis at program 
honoring local veterans of World 
War II held at Montevallo, Ala., 
on Feb. 24th at 3 p.m. in Palmer 
Hall. 



Mr. Chairman, Dr. Sharp, Mayor 
of the Town of Montevallo, Citizens 
of Montevallo, Members of the 
American Legion, the Legion Aux- 
iliary, the Daughters of the Amer- 
ican Revolution, United Daugh- 
ters of the Confederacy, Ladies and 
Gentlemen : 

It is a high honor to have a part 
in this program this afternoon, the 
over-all purpose of which is to pay 
tribute to the fighting men and 
women of the United States of Am- 
erica, and particularly to one of 
Montevallo's own sons who has 
distinguished himself by heroic con- 
duct on the field of battle, fight- 
ing for his country, and for you 
and for me. 

I know of no more fitting and 
colorful setting for such a celebra- 
tion than here in Montevallo, a 
center of refinement and culture, 
the home of Alabama College, an 
arm of the State, and one of our 
three institutions of learning, which 
has made such a notable contribu- 
tion to the richness of our lives. I 
am deeply indebted to this institu- 
tion for its contribution to my own 
life. My wife and five daughters 
are all Alabama • College women, 
and soon my four grand-daughters 
will be wending their footsteps 
here to be its daughters, and call 
it their Alma Mater. My only re- 
gret is that this is not a co-educa- 
tional institution, so that my three 
grandsons could also swell its en-

rollment, making seven in all. This 
is a nice way of saying that I have 
seven grandchildren, the last hav- 
ing been born only a few days ago. 

I have a deep feeling of humility 
at this hour where we are met to 
honor Captain Charles H. Bailey 
on the occasion of the presentation 
of the Bronze Star Medal for merit- 
orious achievement against the en- 
emy on Luzon in the Philippine 
Islands between February 1, 1945, 
and May 3, 1945, a long time in the 
life of a fighting man. 

It is appropriate that Captain 
Bailey should be so honored and it 
is very fitting that we, his fellow

We're working mighty hard these days on a big 
job we've got to deliver — our $300,000,000 expan- 
sion program. It's an all embracing program that 
will provide better telephone service and tele- 
phones for all who want them. 

The job ahead of us is one that must be handled 
with care. The vast sum of money involved places 
a heavy responsibility on both management and 
employees. It will be spent wisely and cautiously 
and with the same care that has always character- 
ized your Telephone Company's operations. 

There is also the responsibility of maintaining 
adequate earnings so that the funds needed to build 
more telephone facilities can be secured. The 
money will have to come, as it has in the past, from 
thrifty people putting their hard earned cash in 
the Telephone Company. But unless they have con- 
fidence in the safety of their investment and feel 
assured of a reasonable return on that investment, 
new funds for expansion will not be forthcoming. 

So it is easy to see that telephone earnings have 
a direct bearing on the future of telephone service.

(Continued from page 1) 

citizens of Shelby County, should 
be gathered here today in token 
of our deep and abiding apprecia- 
tion for what he has done. He is 
a true representative of Monte- 
vallo and indeed of the State of 
Alabama, and of the glorious South. 
His achievement on this far-distant 
battleground will always be a 
source of pride to his friends and 
neighbors. 

Let us make this occasion an op- 
portunity to express again our 
gratitude to those who fought and 
to those who died in the struggle 
for the preservation of our liber- 
ties, our freedom, and our beautiful, 
broad American way of life. Let us 
do more than that. Let us dedicate 
ourselves anew to the principles 
for which this country of ours 
went to war and let us undertake 
to show to the world that mankind 
can live in liberty and in peace, and 
at the same time enjoy prosperity 

There were those who thought 
that the sc-called "soft living" of 
the people of this country enjoy- 
ing a democratic form of govern- 
ment would unfit them for the 
role of warriors and yet we know 
and the world knows that the Am- 
erican soldiers on the fields of bat- 
tle on every continent of the globe 
proved themselves to be intrepid, 
fearless, superior, gallant fighters. 
From whence came this strength? 
I like to think that it came from 
the family life and the school life 
which has indoctrinated these 
young men and women. I think 
now, and I have always thought, 
that education was and is the 
great hope of mankind. People may 
be born with intelligence, but they 
are not born with knowledge and 
with wisdom. These must be ac- 
quired by experience and by study. 
The blind obedience of the Jap- 
anese proved no match for the in- 
formed courage of the American 
soldier. It is one thing to fight 
bravely and another to fight brave- 
ly and intelligently. I know, as well 
as anyone that in the heat of bat- 
tle, and in the sufferings and pri- 
vations undergone behind the 
lines, that consciously the thought 
of what the war was about was 
perhaps not always clearly in the 
minds of our soldiers, but I know 
equally well that sub-consciously 
and through many years of living 
under our form of government, the 
knowledge was in their hearts that 
theirs is a government not only 
worth fighting for, but that it was 
also worth dying for ; this know- 
ledge was always there, and gave 
them strength, and perhaps they 
did not even realize its source. 
This was the Spirit of America. 
I know, too, that men overseas, 



thousands of miles from home, 
perhaps pictured too happy a land 
to which they would return. I 
know that few expected to return 

to a land torn by domestic strife 
and concerned over international 
developments and some have been 
bitter at what they have found, but 
it was hardly to be expected that 
the war should end and our coun- 
try return to the ways of peace 
without troublesome readjustments. 
There is no one that can wave a 
magic wand and settle all the, dif- 
ferences that now exist but there 
is one thing that we can all do and 
that is think on these things and 
put our minds to a solution which 
will be best for us all. 

The other nations of the world 
recognize now that America is a 
world power. We, ourselves, must 
not hide our face from this fact. 
Our soldiers overseas tell us that 
people in every land want to know 
what America thinks about this 
and that question and where Am- 
erica will stand. 

The shock of the death of Presi- 
dent Roosevelt was international in 
its scope, as I have talked to many 
persons and have been surprised 
at the magnitude of the sorrow 
occasioned by his death. This was 
because, as a leader of America, he 
was automatically one of the world 
leaders. Nothing could better dram- 
atize the hope which the world has 
for intelligent American leadership 
than the tears shed by foreign 
people in foreign lands on the oc- 
casion of the death of this great 
man. 

America is a young nation, but 
during this war America has come 
into its maturity. Throughout the 
period of time since our Revolu- 
tionary War, America has been too 
busy expanding — always expanding 
— to take proper interest in foreign 
affairs but today we have reached 
our ultimate from a standpoint of 
territory. We no longer find it 
necessary to move westward, con- 
stantly opening up new territories 
and developing them. By the same 
token, America has reached its 
probable ultimate from the stand- 
point of population. We are be- 
ginning to level off in that respect. 
During the conflict just ended, 
America has come into its own 
from an international standpoint. 
We are the leader of Nations and 
the other Nations of the world look 
to us for leadership and guidance. 
We cannot furnish such leadership 
without a definite and decisive for- 
eign policy. It behooves you and 
me to think along these lines, to 
counsel among ourselves, and if the 
same feeling of necessity exists all 
over this country of ours, we will 
develop a public opinion on the 
subject which will result in such 
a definite foreign policy. We can- 



not evade our responsibilities. 

These responsibilities are first, 
of course, to ourselves. We owe it 
to ourselves to insure that we shall 
not again be plunged into world- 
wide conflict. We owe it to the 
other nations of the world that 
our influence will always be against 
such another conflict and I say to 
you, my friends, that once public 
opinion in America crystalizes to 
that extent and it is known through- 
out the world that America will 
act and will act promptly in an 
emergency, the greatest step for- 
ward toward prevention of future 
war-fare will have been taken. This 
includes leadership in the United 
Nations Organization, which if 
made to properly function, the 
carnage of war and the shedding 
of blood upon the battlefields 
throughout the world will be ban- 
ished forever. 

We are a great people — we are 
a mighty nation. We cannot accept 
the benefits of that position with- 
out also accepting the responsi- 
bility which devolves upon us. 

I say, again, to Captain Bailey, 
Montevallo, Shelby County, the 
State of Alabama, and indeed all 
America, are proud of you. We 
glory in your achievements. We 
are happy to have a part in pub- 
licly expressing to you and to all 
the others who went forward with 
you, our undying gratitude and 
our resolution that what you have 
fought for and what you have 
done will not be forgotten. 

In the inspired language of old, 
to the fighting men and women of 
America, I exclaim : 

"Cheers for the living, 
Tears for the dead." 

Around the bivouac fires of 
mighty armies, in the silent watches 
of the night, amidst the carnage 
of war, in the din of battle, on 
land and sea and in the air, the 
fighting forces of America, ever 
in their mind and souls, repeated 
over and over again, the beautiful 
lines and thought of "God Bless 
America." 

"God bless America, 
Land that I love, 
Stand beside her and guide her 
Thru the night with a light 

from above ; 
From the mountains, to the 
prairies, 

To the oceans white with foam, 
God bless America 
My home sweet home." 



Have you adjusted 
Your Insurance? 

Today the value of buildings is much 
higher than four years ago. What was 
adequate insurance coverage then is far 
below present standards of value. 

Your insurance should be adjusted to 
protect you on present values. Let me 
help you get this done.

Local Students Win Honors At State High 
School Music Festival At Tuscaloosa 




The annual Religious Emphasis 
Week at Alabama College, begin- 
ning Saturday, promises to be a 
week of profound significance to 
the college. This year's program is 
the largest program of its kind 
ever presented at Alabama College. 

A different type of program from 
any ever carried out is to be in- 
troduced this year. It has been 
carefully planned and organized 
through the cooperation of the 
Religious Council, a part of the 
Y. W. C. A. at Alabama College, 
and the University Christian Mis- 
sion, which is sponsored by the 
Federal Council of Churches of 
Christ in America and the United 
Student Christian Council. The 
University Christian Mission is a 
part of a nation-wide program for 
the focusing of campus attention 
on religious phases of post-war 
problems. Alabama College is hon- 
ored to be one of the 15 campuses 
which the Mission visits this year. 
It is the purpose of the Missions, 
as described by Phillips P. Moul- 
ton of New York City, national 
director, to confront students with 
the meaning of Christianity and to 
emphasize its social and personal 
implications today. Many of the 
nation's ablest religious leaders are 
enlisted in the work of the Uni- 
versity Christian Mission. From a 
wide selection of well known lead- 
ers the Religious Emphasis Week 
General Committee, headed by Dr. 
Hallie Farmer, chose ten whom 
they believed would be most help- 
ful to the students and faculty of 
Alabama College. 

Among the speakers and workers 
who will be present during the 
week are Dr. Phillips Moulton, 
Rep. John J. Sparkman ; Dr. W. R. 
Barnhart, of Hood College, Fred- 
erick, Md. ; Miss R. Elizabeth 
Johns, of the New England Stu- 
dent Christian Movement, Boston ; 
Miss Elizabeth Turner, of the Stu- 
dent Volunteer Movement, New 
York ; Miss Lucy Randolph Ma- 
son, Southern Public Relations 
Representative, C. I. O., Atlanta; 
Dr. John L. Slaughter, Pastor, First 
Baptist Church, Birmingham; Dr. 
Ansley C. Moore, Government 
Street Presbyterian Church, Mo- 
bile ; and Lieutenant-Colonel C. K. 
Douglas, Chaplain, U. S. Army Air 
Corps, Rock Hill, S. C. ; Mrs. Jean 




Abernathy, New Brunswick, N. J. 

The week's activities will begin 
with a "Retreat" at the college 
camp house Saturday afternoon, 
March 9. This retreat has been 
planned to enable the visiting lead- 
ers and members of the campus 
committees /to know each other 
better. Short speeches will be made 
by members of the faculty and the 
Mission leaders. A history of the 
University Christian Mission will be 
given by Dr. Moulton. This will be 
followed by a speech by Dr. T. H. 
Napier entitled "Alabama College 
—What It Is, What It Hopes to 
Be." Rev. J. E. Harris, pastor of 
Montevallo Methodist Church, Miss 
Mary E. Compton, member of the 
speech department, and Lila Raw- 
linson. president of the Y. W. C. 
A., will give their views respec- 
tively on what is expected of the 
Mission as a pastor, as a member 
of the faculty, and as a student. 
The remainder of the week is oc- 
cupied with convocations, informal 
discussions, classroom conferences, 
daily seminar groups, and personal 
interviews. 

The Religious Emphasis Week 
General Committee, with Dr. Hal- 
lie Farmer as faculty chairman and 
Frances Woodin as student chair- 
man, is working with the follow- 
ing committees in cooperation with 
the University Christian Mission:

Kent Seeks Election 
To School Board 

Mr. John A. Kent, of Siluria, 
has entered as a candidate for 
member of the County Board of 
Education in the Democratic pri- 
mary of May 7. 

Mr. Kent is a well known young 
business man, being connected with 
the operation of Kent Dairy Farm. 



The Alabama High School Music 
Festival, held at Tuscaloosa on 
March 1 and 2, was an event to in- 
spire all who attended. Montevallo 
High School sent a group of 50 to 
the All-State Bands and Chorus, 
and all are enthusiastically plan- 
ning to return next year. This is 
not an entertainment, but a care- 
fully planned series of rehearsals 
and final concert under prominent 
directors, and all agree that much 
is learned in the short time avail- 
able. 

Names of high school members 
of local bands, choruses, and or- 
chestras are sent to the chairman 
of each group from all over the 
state, and in the case of the bands 
and orchestra, those are selected 
who seem best qualified to benefit. 
After arrival at the University 
try-outs are held for all, and first 
and second chairs are awarded in 
each section. Montevallo received 
several such honors. 

In the first place, merely to make 
the "A" Band is no small achieve- 



ment, and Betty Pendleton was 
chosen one of only seven solo clar- 
inets from the state, while Lamar 
Appleton was in the second clari- 
net division of the "A" Band. 
Teddy Ziolkowski won second chair 
in the second cornet division and 
Jane Russell second chair in sec- 
ond trombone division of the "A" 
Band. Grady Pickett won second 
chair in the second alto horn sec- 
tion of the "B" Band, and many 
others attending for the first time 
were gaining valuable experience 
which should help them in winning 
recognition next year. This year 
chorus members were required to 
be familiar with their music, but 
in the past it was also required to 
be memorized, and no doubt anoth- 
er year will see a return to this 
practice. 

A total of 1500 persons register- 
ed, of these 135 were in the "A" 
Band, 210 in the "B" Band, and 
more than 100 in the orchestra, 
and nearly 700 in the chorus, as 
well as teachers, observers, and 
others interested. 



Religious Emphasis Week leaders at Alabama College include Dr.

Pete Jarman 

Our Congressman, Pete Jarman, 
was a visitor in Montevallo Wed- 
nesday. Mr. Jarman has represent- 
ed us ably and with unusual dis- 
tinction in Congress for the past 
12 years. He wishes to continue 
doing so, and solicits the vote, in- 
fluence, friendship and cooperation 
of all his constituents. 

The Times believes that the peo- 
ple of the Sixth District should 
and will keep Pete Jarman in Con- 
gress. It would be a losing proposi- 
tion all the way round for us to 
think about replacing him with a 
new man of no experience in Con- 
gress. 

The only way to have a really 
able Congressman is to send a 
good man to Washington and keep 
him there until he learns how to 
be a Congressman. Mr. Jarman 
has done this, and the people of 
the district should not think about 
giving him up now. 



SECOND CHANCE 

Girl Scouting in the United 
States will be 34 years old on 
March 12. It has already had a 
wholesome, lasting influence on 
one generation of girls, and is four 
years along in its objective of help- 
ing a second generation grow up 
to be better citizens and happier 
homemakers. 

The Girl Scout organization in 
Montevallo is made possible by the 
men and women who freely give 
their time and energy to help the 
next generation learn to do a bet- 
ter job than we did. If enough 
young people could be reached by 
such youth movements, the pros- 
pects of a third world war — and 
complete annihilation — might be 
more remote. 

There are more than a million 
Girl Scouts in the United States 
today but there are still many mil- 
lion girls of Scout age who are 
not served by this or any compar- 
able youth organization. This sec- 
ond generation crowds the wait- 
ing lists of the Girl Scouts; not 
enough of their elders have vol- 
unteered the time and energy 
needed to find leaders, sponsors 
and meeting places for them. 

The children of the world are the 
future of the world. Scouting's 
second generation may well be 
civilization's second — or last — 
chance.

'VOTE for a New MAN for GOVERNOR of ALABAMA on May 7th" 




ELBERT BOOZER 

A PROGRESSIVE BUSINESSMAN and FARMER 
"The People's Candidate For Governor" 



He Will Return Your State Government Back To The People 
To Whom It Rightfully Belongs 

Democratic Primary, May 7th, 1946 



ELBERT BOOZER 



ELBERT BOOZER was the first Candidate for GOVERNOR to make known 
his Position on Public Matters in this Campaign. 

Assistance to War Vets— Aid to Our Old-Age People 



HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SOUND BUSINESS AND 
WORKABLE PLATFORM ELBERT BOOZER IS 
OFFERING THE PEOPLE OF ALABAMA FOR 
THEIR APPROVAL MAY 7, 1946: 

USE OF SURPLUS INCOME TAX: (A) 40% to 
be earmarked by constitutional amendment to increase 
the salary of Alabama's teachers. (B) 40% to create 
a trust fund to begin monthly payments to Alabama's 
disabled war veterans and widows of deceased veterans. 
(C) 20% to be earmarked for old-age assistance pur- 
poses. 

TAXES: If elected Governor, Elbert Boozer will op- 
pose any increase in taxes. 

MERIT SYSTEM: Judge Boozer is the only candi- 
date for Governor who has had the courage to publicly 
denounce and call for the abolishment of the so-called 
state Merit System. This has no application whatever 
to any city or county merit system or civil service. 



ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES: Elbert Boozer favors 
and if elected Governor will advocate a state-wide ref- 
erendum to determine whether or not the present liquor 
law shall or shall not be retained. 

WAR VETERANS: Repeal of the so-called merit 
system will give Alabama's War Veterans an oppor- 
tunity they do not have now, namely, to be employed 
by their state government without having to comply 
with needless red tape and endless delay. Judge Booz- 
er favors the creation of a five million dollar trust fund 
to be earmarked for aid to disabled Alabama veterans. 

LABOR: Elbert Boozer's past record as a business 
man will show that he has been fair to capital and 
labor, and if elected Governor he will appoint a State 
Labor Commissioner from the ranks of Alabama's labor- 
ing men. 

RURAL ELECTRIFICATION AND TELE- 
PHONES : Judge Boozer will cooperate with public and 
private agencies to make the services of electricity and 
telephones available in every rural district of Alabama. 



Headquarters Address: Greystone Hotel, Montgomery; Boozer Bldg., Anniston

IT TAKES MORE THAN 
POLES AND WIRE 



More than a year ago we began cutting 
trees from our lands and sent them to creosot- 
ing plants for treatment for use as electric 
line poles. These poles and others purchased 
have been distributed along the routes of pro- 
posed lines. Others will be distributed as re- 
ceived. Some of them have been set in the 
ground. Some have wire strung on them but 
are not "hot" — that is, current has not been 
turned into them. 

Why? The delivery of electric current re- 
quires more than poles and wire. This cur- 
rent must be controlled and measured. Pro- 
tective devices must be installed. Other de- 
vices to automatically restore service in the 
event of certain interruptions are necessary. 
In some cases, additional equipment or equip- 
ment of greater capacity must be installed in 
the substations through which the current is 
delivered to the lines. 

You can readily see, therefore, that the lack 
of any one necessary item can prevent us 
from getting service to you, even though poles 
have been set and wires strung. 

Even when factories making the various 
needed equipment and materials have gone 
back to work, the disruption to production has 
been such that it will be weeks and, in some 
cases, months, before delivery can begin. This 
means that in some instances skilled men 
whom we would have hired, unable to remain 
idle while awaiting receipt of materials and 
equipment, will have sought employment else- 
where. 

We are just as eager to get your business 
as you are to use electricity, and will do 
everything possible to get service to you as 
soon as conditions will permit.

A Message Concerning 

Telephones 
For Farmers 



One of our most important peacetime activities, sup- 
plying telephones in farm areas, has been resumed 
and is being expanded as rapidly as equipment and 
materials are available. 

Considerable time and equipment will be required 
to build the lines and install the facilities necessary 
to extend service to all areas. 

You will be glad to know, however, that we have 
started our rural development activities and are ex- 
panding the work to bring telephones to additional 1 
farm communities just as fast as we can.

Handy Ellis Faces All 
Issues In Opening Speech 

"Promising Platforms That Won't Work" Draw 
Fire Of Lt.Covernor. Open-Door Policy Pledged. 




HANDY ELLIS 



Launching his campaign for 
Governor in a speech Saturday be- 
fore a large and enthusiastic as- 
semblage of Shelby County friends 
and neighbors, Lt. Governor Han- 
dy Ellis fulfilled his promise to 
leave no room for doubt about his 
stand on every 
campaign issiue. 
This week the 
lieutenant gov- 
ernor is swinging 
through no r t h- 
east Alabama on 
a fast moving 
speaking tour in 
which he is hammering home the 
planks in his four-year program 
of service. 

Iii is opening speech Lt. Gov. El- 
lis presented one of the most com- 
plete platforms ever submitted by 
a candidate for Governor. He warn- 
ed that "from the standpoint of 
promises my platform will not 
match others that will be offered, 
but from the standpoint of per- 
formance it presents a sound, bal- 
anced and workable four-year pro- 
gram for progressive government 
in Alabama." 

Pledging opposition to new taxes 
unless some major source of state 
revenue should be wiped out, Lt. 
Gov. Ellis advocated the retention 
of the present state tax structure 
except for specified reductions in 
state ad valorem taxes to be made 
from the accumulated income tax 
surplus. 

Income Tax Surplus 

Citing State Supreme Court de- 
cisions Lt. Gov. Ellis said there 
was a grave legal question wheth- 
er surplus income tax revenues, 
already collected, could be used 
for any other purpose than to pay 
the debt for which it was pledged 
and reduce state ad valorem taxes 
Even so, he said, it would be a 
breach of faith to do so. In view 
of both the legal and moral obli- 
gations, he declared that he would 
recommend to the legislature that 
the surplus from the income tax 
be used to exempt from state ad 
valorem taxes all homesteads to 
the amount of $3,000; all home- 
steads of veterans to the amount of 
$5,000; all household furnishings 
and furniture ; all non-commercial 
autos ; implements and tools of 
mechanics ; farm tools, agricultural 
products, farm vehicles; livestock 
and poultry. 

Future Income Taxes 

Pointing out that there could be 
no charge of any breach of faith 
if the people see fit by Constitu- 
tional Amendment to direct use of 
future income tax collections in a 
different manner than is now pro- 
vided, Ellis declared he would rec- 
ommend submission of an amend- 
ment to provide that future income 
tax revenues be used as follows : 

First, to replace revenues lost by 
exemption from state ad valorem 
taxes. 

Second, 60 per cent of the bal- 
ance to be ear-marked and used 
for payment of teachers' salaries, 
and 40 per cent for welfare and 
health purposes, including old age 
assistance and expansion of veteran 
services. 

Building Program 

Until the present income tax sur- 
plus has been exhausted through 
use in reducing ad valorem taxes, 
Lt. Gov. Ellis said he would rec- 
ommend that the portion of the 
future income tax revenues which 
are to be devoted to reducing ad 
valorem taxes be used to finance a 
building program for schools, 
health facilities and other state in- 
stitutions. Over a 6 or 7 year per- 
iod, he said, this would permit an 
outlay of more than $12,500,000 for 
these purposes. 



Education 

Declaring that promises to help 
education are good but promises 
plus records are better, Handy El- 
lis cited his long record of service 
to the cause of education. He em- 
phasized that a large part of his 
legislative record could be trans- 
lated into school revenue. 

He said that he would recom- 
mend to the legislature that edu- 
cation be provided with sufficient 
revenue to meet its needs, includ- 
ing a fair share of future income 
tax revenues. He would further 
recommend, he said, that appro- 
priations for teachers' salaries and 
other necessary school costs be in- 
creased sufficiently to take care of 
increased living costs and to in- 
crease the state supported mini- 
mum school term from eight to 
nine months with local school 
boards of education given the op- 
tion of either operating enriched 
eight-months terms or extending 
the term from eight to nine months 
for every school child in the state. 

In event state funds available for 
the Minimum Program Fund in 
1946-47 are less than the amount 
available to the fund in the 1945-46 
fiscal year, due to the defeat of 
the proposed Income Tax Amend- 
ment, Ellis promised to call the 
Legislature into special session for 
the specific purpose of appropriat- 
ing sufficient edditional funds to 
public education to prevent any re- 
duction in teachers' salaries in the 
1946-47 fiscal year. He advocated 
increase in appropriations for vo- 
cational education and special ser- 
vices for the handicapped to take 
care of the growing needs for 
these services. He endorsed Fed- 
eral aid for the equalization of ed- 
ucational opportunity without Fed- 
eral control.

High School Band 
To Give Concert 

The annual combined concert 
presented by the Montevallo High 
School Band and Glee Club will 
feature a variety of music, ranging 
from "Bach to Boogie" and includ- 
ing plenty of music from the per- 
iods in between these extremes. 
Approximately 100 students will be 
involved and this does not repre-

dents in the high school, as there 
are over 40 band beginners and the 
entire Junior I class has two glee

The proceeds will go into the 
uniform fund and the immediate 
goal is $100 for the purchase of 
majorette uniforms, caps and jack- 
ets. Any surplus — and it is hoped 
there will be some — will start the 
fund for another sousaphonc bass 
horn. A band this size needs three 
or four of these instruments and 
the band has only one at present. 
Admission, adults 25c, and all 
others, including college students,'

Rep. John Sparkman 
Speaks At College 

Mr. John J. Sparkman, address- 
ing the student body and faculty 
at Alabama College Tuesday morn- 
ing, expressed faith in the achieve- 
ment of world peace. His high hopes 
for a peaceful family of nations 
rested upon his faith that the 
people of the United States were 
willing to turn to Christianity, to 
education, and to the lessons of 
history for the patience, and the 
knowledge required to reach the 
ultimate goal. 

"We taught 16,000,000 young 
men we were worth fighting for," 
he said, "now we must teach the 
job of living. The basis of a peace- 
ful world is free government," he 
continued, "and so long as we have 
free elections the people and the 
Government of the United States 
will remain free." 

"If Christian citizenship means 
anything," he asserted, "the very 
essence of it is doing everything 
possible to make this world a de- 
cent place in which to live. We 
must not turn back — never again 
can we live separately from the 
rest of the world." 

"I believe," he said, "the nations 
of the world can live in peace. But 
it will take much time and tolerance 
to achieve this."

J. S. Acker Honors Smoki Indian Tribe 
With Gift In Prescott, Arizona 



(From the Yavapai County Mes- 
senger, Prescott, Arizona.) 

Squaws of the Smoki people were 
honored last Saturday night when 
J. S. Acker, long time resident of 
Prescott and one of the men who 
instituted Smoki, gave them a Val- 
entine present of property adjoin- 
ing the Smoki museum on the 
north, and the sum of $500 to 
start a, building fund for the women. 

Mr. Acker, in his speech of pre- 
sentation, told of what Smoki 
meant to Prescott, and to history, 
with its determination to preserve 
the fast dying dances and culture 
of the Southwestern Indian tribes. 
He spoke of the future of Smoki, 
and its importance to the city. 
Then he went on to say how much 
the women of the organization had 
added to the Smoki organization 
and the ceremonies, giving un- 
stintingly of their time, effort and 
enthusiasm, participating in the 
making of costumes, property, in 
the ceremonials themselves. He 
closed his remarks by saying that 
it had been his dreams that an- 
other building, in keeping with ar- 
chitectural style of the pueblo and 
museum, for the use of the women 



of the tribe for meetings, cere- 
monial practice, etc., would add 
greatly to the comfort and happi- 
ness of the entire tribe and would 
round out the Smoki center. 

Acker's property fronts on N. 
Arizona Ave., and a portion of his 
holdings, probably 90 foot front- 
age, would go to the women. The 
lot is from 110 to 120 feet deep. 
Formal conveyance of the title to 
the property and the check to start 
tlie building fun awaits upon ac- 
curate surveying of the land and 
conferences between the Smoki 
squaw officers and the donor. 

Acker first came to Prescott in 
1902, directly from Salt Lake City. 
His home was Alabama, but Pres- 
cott so attracted him that it has 
been his home since his arrival, ex- 
cept for numerous trips during the 
past 44 years. He has been engaged 
in the real estate business from the 
time of his arrival, renting his 
present offices in the Union Block 
soon after his arrival. He has part- 
icipated in many of the important 
real estate transfers in the com- 
munity, in that period of time. His 
interest in Prescott and his en- 
thusiastic belief in its future has 
never waned.

plications of the Christian Faith to 
Christian Living." 

Miss Lucy Randolph Mason, At- 
lanta, public relations representa- 
tive of the CIO, conducted the 
seminar "Practical Applications of 
the Christian Faith to Labor."

mitory meetings, and seminars were

WATCH YOUR CAR! 

Keep your car off the streets. 
About two weeks ago several 
attempts were made to steal 
automobiles parked on the 
streets of Mpntevallo. Al- 
though the attempts were un- 
successful, it is felt that citi- 
zens of the town should be 
warned to keep their cars off 
the streets at night.

Girl Scouts 

Girl Scouting in the United 

States was 34 years old on March 
12. The movement, which offers a 
program of leisure time activities 
to girls between the ages of 7 and 
18, was founded in Savannah, Ga., 
by Mrs. Juliette Gordon Low. 

Membership in the Girl Scouts 
has grown from the handful of 
joungsters and adults — twelve girls 
and two adult volunteers — in 1912, 
to more than a million girls and 
women at the end of 1945. Mem- 
bership in the Girl Scouts doubled 
during the recent war years. 

Girl Scouting was organized in 
Montevallo in 1933 with 12 mem- 
bers. The present membership is 
100 girls and 40 adult volunteers.

We are doing everything possible to ex-

places and hundreds of young women 
are being employed and trained as op*

It's a big job and will take time. Until

To My Friends and Constituents: 




My gratitude for the friendship and support with 
which you have so kindly favored me is common know- 
ledge. I have tried diligently to justify your confidence 
which sincere effort I hope and believe has succeeded. 

During my last campaign, I said: 

"I base my desire to continue representing 
you during this critical period in the House of 
Representatives, where seniority is more val- 
uable than anywhere else in the world, on my 
record and background of service, both prior 
to and since you honored me with a seat in 
Congress." 

Critical though the situation then was, the period! 
which lies ahead is no less crucial, no less momentous. 

Believing that you are entitled to maximum repre- 
sentation, I naturally desire to continue rendering this, 
service, thereby preserving the position of responsibility 
it has been my privilege and pleasure to gain for you in 
the Congress. I assure you of my continued best efforts. 

I sincerely thank you for your friendship and support 
in the past and bespeak a continuation of it. I solicit not 
only your vote but your active, energetic interest for 
which I express in advance my deep, heartfelt appre- 
ciation.

Founder And Officers Of Rotary International 




PAUL P. HARRIS 

Paul P. Harris is the founder and 
president emeritus of Rotary In- 
ternational. He was born in Ra- 
cine, Wisconsin, on April 19, 1868, 
and when he was three years old 
he was taken to Wallingford, Ver- 
mont, to live with his paternal 
grandparent. The Black River Ac- 
ademy at Ludlow, Vermont, and 
Vermont Academy at Saxtons Riv- 
er prepared him for his studies at 
the University of Vermont, Prince- 
ton University and the University 
of Iowa. Following his graduation 
from the law school of the Uni- 
versity of Iowa in 1891, he deter- 
mined to spend the next five years 
in seeing the world and in coming 
to know his fellow men before set- 
tling down to practice law in Chi- 
cago. He worked as a reporter on 
newspapers in San Francisco and 
Denver, was a teacher in a Los 
Angeles business college, worked 
on a California fruit farm and in 
a raisin-packing factory, was an 
actor in a Denver Stock company 
and a cowboy on a Colorado ranch. 
Then he went to the southern part 
of the United States where he 
picked oranges in Louisiana and 
traveled extensively as a salesman 
for a marble and granite concern. 
He made two trips to England on 
cattle boats and later traveled to 
Europe to visit the granite regions 
of Ireland, Belgium and Italy for 
his company. These five years of 
knock-about experiences broaden- 
ed his vision and the acquaintances 
which he made in college and on

Visitors From Many 
Clubs To Attend 

The newly organized Rotary 
Club of Montevallo will be formally 
admitted to membership tonight in 
Rotary International, the world- 
wide service organization which 
has over 5,500 clubs in some , 60 
countries. Delegations from the 
Rotary Clubs in Selma, Birming- 
ham, Sylacauga, Tuscaloosa, Bes- 
semer, LaFayette, Childersburg, 
Ensley, Gordo, and Florence will be 
present at the meeting to welcome 
Rotarians of Montevallo into the 
fellowship of more than a quarter 
of a million Rotarians throughout 
the- world. 

The official Rotary charter will 
be presented to President Herrin 
by John Inzer, Rotary District Gov- 
ernor of Sylacauga, whose address 
to the club will outline the history 
and purposes of the Rotary move- 
ment. 

"Rotary is a comparatively young 
organization," Mr. Inzer says,. "The 
first Rotary Club was organized 
in Chicago, Illinois, in 1905. Its ba- 
sis of membership was the selec- 
tion of one man from each business 
or profession in the community, 
thus establishing the club as a 
cross-section of the community's 
business and professional life. Af- 
ter more than 40 years of growth 
and development, that original plan 
is still the basis of membership of 
all Rotary Clubs throughout the 
world. These clubs — whether they 
are in North or South America, in 
Europe, Asia or Africa — are all 
united in the practice of the 'Ideal 
of Service,' which is thoughtfulness 
of and helpfulness to others." 

The Rotary Club of Montevallo, 
upon becoming a member of Ro- 
tary International, adopts the gen- 
eral objectives of the organization, 
which relate to the promotion of 
fellowship as an opportunity for 
service, the practice of high stand- 
ards in business and professional 
life, the sponsoring of community- 
betterment endeavors, and the ad- 
vancement of international under- 
standing, good will and peace. 

Officers of the new Rotary Club 
are John M. Herrin, president; 
R. A. Reid, vice-president ; James 
A. Wyatt, secretary ; and W. M. 
Davis, treasurer.

Montevallo's new Shelby Laun- 
dry and Cleaners plant will be in 
operation soon after the arrival and 
installation of pipe and electrical

When the business gets into op- 
eration it is expected to employ 14

Under the management of Ralph 
Henderson and Charles Ma'naffey, 
Jr., the business will serve all of 
Shelby County, and plans are be- 
ing made to pick up and deliver 
laundry and cleaning. Mr. Mahaf- 
fey and Mr. Henderson invite all 
their friends to visit and inspect 
their new modern building and 
equipment.

H<. j, Skip and Jump Methods 
Would Slow Things Down 
Even More 




To SEND crews of men to do electric service 
extension work in one locality and then pull 
them off the job to send them to another job in 
another section before the first is finished would 
be using "hop, skip and jump" methods. This 
would further slow up the extension^ of electric 
service. Therefore, to speed our extension pro- 
gram, we try to arrange the work of our crews 
so that while a crew is working in a certain 
area, it can connect all the customers in the area 
who want serving. 

Such a schedule results in more people getting 
electric service earlier than they would by "hop, 
skip and jump" methods. 

If you are an applicant for electric service, 
you are eager to have this service soon. We 
want your business. Therefore, we're doing ev- 
erything possible to get service to you as soon 
as we can. 

These things, chiefly, are delaying our ef- 
forts — 

I Lack of enough cars and construction 
• trucks, ordered months ago, but not 
yet delivered. 

O A shortage of transformers, meters 
• and other equipment — also ordered 
months ago. Delivery of this equip- 
ment to us is only a trickle compared 
to the quantities needed and ordered.

Gerald Withdraws 
From Senate Race 

To the Voters of the Fifteenth 

Senatorial District : 

When I announced my candidacy 
sometime ago for State Senator 
from the Fifteenth District, I did 
not know that 'Mr. W. A. Gulledge 
of Verhena would qualify. I felt 
that the voters of this district 
should have a choice of selection 
for their Senator and when Mr. 
Gulledge qualified, I re-considered 
this matter. Mr. Gulledge is an 
older and more experienced man 
than I am, and is a man of high 



intelligence and unquestioned char- 
acter and integrity, and has been 
a life-long friend of mine. Feeling 
that he stands for the principles 
that I do, I am unwilling to engage 
in a race with him and I have 
therefore withdrawn as a candi- 
date in this race and wish to ex- 
press the hope to the voters of this 
district that they may support Mr. 
Gulledge in the May 7 election. 

I wish to take this occasion to 
thank my many friends who have 
pledged me their support.

MEN'S BIBLE CLASS 
Montevallo Baptist Church 

"And Ruth said, Intreat me not 
to leave thee, or to return from 
following after thee : for whether 
thou goest, I will go; and where 
thou lodgest, I will lodge ; thy 
people shall be my people, and thy 
God my God." 

The devotional period opened 
with singing several old time songs. 
The singing was good and was en- 
joyed. Prayer was led by the teach- 
er, Dr. Fuller. After this a short 
business session was held, at which 
the class chose a new president. If 
you want to know who he is, be 
with the class next Sunday morn- 
ing. You have a special invitation 
to become a regular member. 

The subject of the lesson was 
"The Everyday Life of a People." 
Devotional reading was from 
Psalm 133. The scripture : Ruth. 
The crown of goodness, purity, and 
fidelity which rested upon her 
brow has been shining across the 



centuries and is brighter today 
than ever. The teacher made this 
very clear to the class, and the 
lesson was enjoyed by all. Come 
next Sunday and bring a friend 
with you. 



Francis Killingsworth left Tues- 
day to resume his studies at Au-

years ago when he entered the

ROTARY COMES TO 
MONTEVALLO 

The Montevallo Times extends a 
cordial welcome to the new Rotary 
Club of Montevallo. To its officers 
and members we offer our congrat- 
ulations for bringing Montevallo 
into the world-wide Rotary family. 
We offer, too, our approval of 
these Rotary objectives, to which 
the new club subscribes : 

1. The development of acquaint- 
ance as an opportunity for service ; 

2. The fostering of high ethical 
standards in business and profes- 
sions ; the recognition of the worth- 
iness of all useful occupations ; 
and the dignifying by each Rotarian 
of his occupation as an opportun- 
ity to serve society; 

3. The application of the ideal 
of service by every Rotarian to his 



personal, business, and community 
life; 

4. The advancement of interna- 
tional understanding, good will, 
and peace through a world fellow- 
ship of business and professional 
men united in the ideal of service. 

Since the first Rotary Club was 
organized in Chicago, Illinois, in 
1905, Rotary has traveled to such 
far-off places as China, South Af- 
rica, the Fiji Islands, Egypt, Syria, 
India, Ceylon, Iceland, Palestine — 
in fact, it has taken firm root in 
more than 60 countries of the 
world. In two-score years, the Ro- 
tary ideals of fellowship and ser- 
vice to others have spread to the 
six continents and today there are 
some 5,500 Rotary Clubs, with a 
membership of more than a quarter 
of a million Rotarians. 

We look for great things from 
our new Rotary Club. Within the 
club will be built warm friendships 
and understanding among men rep- 
resenting the various businesses 
and professions in our city. On 
that solid foundation, the Rotarians 
will undertake activities — based on 
Rotary's "service" ideals — which 
will promote high standards in busi- 
ness and professional life, make the 
community a better place in which 
to live, and contribute to the forma- 
tion in our community of an in- 
formed viewpoint on world affairs.

WHAT TO FEAR 

In the minds of many Americans, 
the fear of Russia is involved with 
a fear of communism. They fear 
Russian propaganda even more 
than they fear Russian arms. These 
apprehensions are aggravated by 
the suspicion that Moscow does 
not separate political and military 
aims, that Soviet soldiers in effect 
carry a gun in one hand and a 
political pamphlet in the other. The 
dissolution of the Comintern has 
not disarmed altogether the world's 
fears of an aggressive communism. 

But the democracies can defend 
themselves a g a i n st communism 
without taking up arms. Their best 
defense is to improve their own 
way of life, to make the demo- 
cratic processes more efficient and 
more productive of the good things 
of human existence. 

The thing to fear is not so much 
communism but the discontent that 
will give communism a fertile 
ground in which to sprout its 
seeds. Communism flourishes in 
the unhappiness of people. It is en- 
couraged by oppression and abet- 
ted by greed. 

If the United States fears com- 
munism, let it reduce onerous con- 
ditions, industrial and economic 
distrust. 

The democracies do not need to 
fear Russia's communism so much 
as they need to fear their own 
shortcomings which make commun- 
ism appealing to some persons be- 
cause of conditions which seem al- 
most unendurable. — Birmingham 
Age-Herald. 



The many friends of Miss Olivia 
Lawson, associate professor of ed- 
ucation at Alabama College, will 
be interested to know that she is 
to undergo an operation at High- 
land Baptist Hospital, Birmingham, 
this week. She plans to be there 
several weeks. 



Mrs. P. M. Fancher is now at 
the home of her son, G. F. Fancher, 
in Tarrant, where she is recover- 
ing from an illness. She was car- 
ried to a Birmingham hospital Mon- 
day afternoon where she spent 
several days. 



The joint meeting of the circles 
of the W. M. S. will be held at the 
home of Mrs. Heyward Woolley on 
Monday evening, March 25, at 7:30.

WE CAN DO SOMETHING 
ABOUT IT! 

Cancer deaths are now occurring 
among the American people at an 
average rate of approximately one 
every three minutes. In Alabama 
they are occurring at an average 
rate of about one every four hours. 

However, there is happily a more 
cheerful side to the cancer picture. 
There is good, sound reason to be- 
lieve that its end as an unchal- 
lenged killer is in sight. It will of 
course take time for that to be ac- 
complished, but the fact is that 
leaders in the cancer control field 
are looking forward with hope to 
such an accomplishment. 

The intelligent and informed co- 
operation of the men and women of 
Alabama and the 'United States is 
necessary to the miracle of effec- 
tive cancer control, however. There 
is a tremendous need for the edu- 
cation of the general public regard- 
ing cancer. An important fact which 
the Field Army of the American 
Cancer Society is trying to get into 
the consciousness of every Ala- 
bamian and every American is that 
early cancer is curable. 

There is need, too, for funds to 
carry on the great and important 
work of educatiin and research. 
During April, designated "Cancer 
Control Month" by act of Con- 
gress, the American Cancer Society, 
through its Field Army of volun- 
teer workers, will seek to raise 
$12,000,000 by popular donations 
throughout the United States. 

The response of Americans to this 
appeal may determine whether you 
or some of your loved ones will 
eventually fall victim to cancer, or 
whether medical science can detect 
the disease in time, control it, and 
prevent another death. 

Let your contribution be inspired 
by this thought : The most vital 
fact about cancer is that we can do 
something about it. Doctors and 
scientists are ready to do their job 
— are you ? 



ALABAMA'S RURAL 
POPULATION 

It is ail well enough for the 
cities of Alabama to offer induce- 
ments to manufacturing concerns 
to locate industries in their midst, 
but they should not lose sight of 
the fact that the State of Alabama 
is predominantly an agricultural 
state and a majority of its popula-

tion live on farms. Any movement 
launched to aid the farmers in pro- 
ducing more and better crops will 
result in more business for the 
cities. 

Few if any cities in Alabama make 
any effort to ascertain any basic 
facts about the surrounding rural 
sections or provide any informa- 
tion calculated to benefit the farm- 
ers who trade with the merchants 
of our cities. No doubt some of the 
business men keep in touch with 
the rural people, but there is no 
concerted action calculated to help 
or cooperate with the farmers in 
solving their problems. 

It might be a good plan for the 
commercial clubs of the cities to 
appoint committees to meet with 
the farmers and discuss plans for 
their mutual benefit. — Mountain 
Eagle (Jasper). 



Handy Ellis Speaks 
In South Alabama 

Lt. Governor Handy Ellis, can- 
didate for Governor, was in Bir- 
mingham Thursday conferring with 
educational leaders in attendance 
at the annual convention of the 
Alabama Education Association, 
following a speaking tour which 
carried him into South Alabama 
Monday and Tuesday of this week. 

Mr. Ellis spoke to enthusiastic 
gatherings at Red Level Monday 
morning, at Andalusia Monday af- 
ternoon and at Opp at 7 :30 p.m. 



Monday. On Tuesday, he visited 
Florala in the morning and spoke 
at Samson and Geneva in the af- 
ternoon and evening. 

Showing no sign of the strain of 
a strenuous campaign, Governor 
Ellis arrived in Birmingham early 
Wednesday morning and kept open 
house for his friends in the ranks 
of education at his North Alabama 
headquarters where hundreds of 
teachers from all parts of the state 
flocked to see him and discuss 
school affairs. Governor Ellis will 
leave Birmingham Saturday morn- 
ing and speak at 2 p.m. on Satur- 
day at the Court House in Jasper. 



Extension Director 
Spoke Here Tuesday 

The Resource Youth's Commit- 
tee of Alabama College is spon- 
soring a series of addresses. First 
these programs was presented at a 
convocation on Tuesday when Mr. 
P. O. Davis, head of trie Extension 
Service at Auburn, spoke. 

The local resource committee, 
headed by Miss Ethel Marshall, is 
composed of one representative 
from each department of the col- 
lege. Its purpose is to make stu- 
dents and faculty more aware of 
the South's many advantages and 
principal problems. Mr. Davis is 
one of four speakers which the 
committee brings to the campus 
this spring.

BIBLE READING 

This is a time we have to become 
community, nation, and world wide 
in our thinking. 

Our goal now is a permanent 
peace and an improved social or- 
der. This will be made by^the peo- 
ple with the implements at hand. 

We of the Wilton Methodist 
Church are alarmed over the va- 
cant pews, not only in our own 
church, but the other churches 
throughout our land. We are also 
alarmed over the increased divorce 
rate, the increase in juvenile de- 
linquency and crime of all sorts. 

It has recently come to our at- 
tention that in eleven of the 48 
states (11 only) Bible reading is 
required by law in oar public 
schools. These 11 states are Ala- 
bama, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, 
Idaho, Kentucky, Maine, Massa- 
chusetts, New Jersey, Pennsyl- 
vnia, and Tennessee. We have heard 
that in some schools of Alabama 
there is no Bible reading or any 
form of religious education. As our 
children are taught so will our na- 
tion be. W : e are in favor of re- 
quiring daily Bible reading and re- 
ligious instruction in our schools. 

All homes do not have religious 
instruction. Bible reading in pub- 
lic school will reach many homes 
where the members of the family 
do not go to church.— L. D. Atkins, 
Pastor, and Members of the Meth- 
odist Church, Wilton, Ala.

Paul Harris 

(Continued from page 1) 

these travels were of material as- 
sistance in the early extension of 
Rotary. 

In 1896 Paul Harris went to Chi- 
cago to practice law. One day in 
1900 he dined with a lawyer friend 
in Rogers Park, a residential sec- 
tion of Chicago. After dinner he 
took a walk with his friend and 
was impressed by the fact that his 
friend stopped at several stores and 
shops in the neighborhood and in- 
troduced him to the proprietors, 
who were his friends. Paul Harris' 
law clients were business friends, 
not social friends, but this exper- 
ience set him to wondering why he 
couldn't make social friends out of 
at least some of his business friends 
—and he resolved to organize a 
club which would band together a 
group of representative business and 
professional men in friendship and 
fellowship. 

For the next several years he 
devoted a great deal of time to re- 
flection on conditions of life and 
business and, by 1905, he had for- 
mulated a definite philisophy of 
business relations. Talking it over 
with three of his law clients — Sil- 
vester Schiele, a coal merchant, 
Gustavus Loehr, a mining engineer.

general approval and club member-

The second Rotary club was 
founded in San Francisco in 1908 
and then other clubs were organized 
until in 1910, when there were 16 
clubs, it was decided that they 
should be united into an organiza- 
tion which would extend the move- 
ment to other cities and serve as a 
clearing house for the exchange of 
ideas among the clubs. Represen- 
tatives from the clubs met in Chi- 



cago in August, 1910, and organ- 
ized the National Association of 
Rotary Clubs. When clubs were 
formed in Canada and Great Brit- 
ain, making the movement inter- 
national in scope, the name was 
changed to the International Asso- 
ciation of Rotary Clubs, and in 1922 
the name was shortened to Rotary 
International. Paul Harris was the 
first president of the National As- 
sociation and the first president of 
the International Association, and 
is now president emeritus of Rotary 
International.

College Girls Told "Best Chance To Own 
A Home Is To Marry A Farmer" 



Virginia I^C£,Anniston Marth a Nuttles, CASTLEBERRy 
President, the Senate president, y.w.c.a. 



Betty LowERy, M ontevallo. "°- 

PRES!D£NT.?RESID£NTS COUNCIL 



Girls who marry farmers in Ala- 
bama have a better chance to own 
the homes in which they liv.e than 
if they marry non-farm men. The 
difference in favor of 1 farmers is 
about a six-five ratio. 

This information was given to 
Alabama College students in con- 
vocation here March 22 by P. O. 
Davis, director of the Extension 
Service of the Alabama Polytech- 
nic Institute, Auburn. 

He said that 58 per cent of Ala- 
bama farmers are tenants; for non- 
farmers the figure is 68 per cent. 
For Birmingham the figure is 70 
per cent ; for Montgomery 73. Cen- 
sus figures for 1940 were used. 
Since then it is believed that 
changes have been on the farmer 
side, he added. 

"If you marry a farmer your life 
will be quite different from that of 
your mother and grandmother if 
they were farm women," he con- 
tinued. "You should be a member 
of as many clubs as your friends 
in town, many of whom will wel- 
come opportunities to meet with 
you in your farm homes. 

"And your compass of learning 
should be broader. In addition to 
snowing how to run a home, you'll 
need to know something about 
farming. The chances are that part 
of your husband's products will be 
sold on a world market ; so you'll 



need to be acquainted with world 
affairs, even the pesky problems 
created by orr tariff structure and 
other artificial laws." 

Mr. Davis reminded his audience 
of the rocky road traveled by 
farmers after each major war to 
date. He insisted, however, that 
American farmers now have the 
know-how and the determination 
to avoid a recurrence of collapse 
after this war. 

"Long ago," Mr. Davis contin- 
ued, "a good farm ceased being a 
place where a family earns a living 
and lives alone. The modern farm- 
er is a complete unit in a sound 
economy. He produces, sells, buys, 
lives. The more he receives from 
his selling the better he lives. And 
he consumes part of what he pro- 
duces.'' 

Mr. Davis was not disturbed over 
the continuous decline in the por- 
tion of the people of the United 
States on farms. The national fig- 
ure is now 18 per cent ; the Ala- 
bama figure 40 per cent. 

He added : "It is a high tribute to 
American farmers that 1944 and 
1945 were banner years in produc- 
tion of food and fiber from farms. 
It is remarkable that so few (18 
per cent) could produce so much. 
But my prediction is that fewer 
people on farms will produce still 
more products in the future."

I tefieve in 
putting my store 

right in my 
customers home 




The telephone is more than convenient communica- 
tion. It is a means of doing business, a way for the 
merchant to put his store in his customers' homes. 

In serving business, the Telephone Company 
accepts a great responsibility — the obligation to 
meet every need of the business man who depends 
on the telephone. 

With the Company — as with the corner drug 
store — earnings are vital to continued success. And 
because the telephone has become a part of every- 
day life, telephone earnings are a subject of im- 
portance to all. 

In 1945, telephone earnings were the lowest in 
the past 23 years. For 1946, the outlook is for even 
lower earnings. In keeping with the general trend 
throughout the country, wages have recently been 
increased. The cost of everything else going into 
the furnishing of telephone service is also climbing. 

Adequate earnings are a basic necessity to the 
American way of life. Earnings must be sufficient 
to enable industry to maintain high standards of 
service and to attract capital for expansion. As for 
the Telephone Company, they are indispensable if 
the full usefulness of the telephone in carrying on 
the business of the community is to be safeguarded.

Q. What animals have teeth that grow 
all their lives long and which would become 
so long as to endanger their lives if they did 
not wear them away by constant knawing? 

A. Any rodent — for instance, the rabbit, 
the beaver, the rat, to name a few common 
ones. The outer hard enamel of these ani- 
mals' teeth never stops growing until the ani- 
mal dies, and he keeps his teeth at a proper 
length by constant gnawing at hard things 
like wood.

Isn't it fine that Alabama boys and girls are grow- 
ing excellent calves like this one? It is being shown 
by 10-year old Deloney Blythe, Jr., Colbert County. 

This is just an example of the type of calves being 
shown and sold by 4-H and FFA members this spring. 
Shows and sales already have been held at Demopolis, 
Grove Hill, Columbus, Montgomery. Others are slat- 
ed for Dothan, April 9-10; Birmingham, May 2-3, and 
Florence, May 22. 4-H members also will enter sheep 
in a sheep show in Selma, April 26-27. Wise boys 
and girls are now planning to grow much of the feed 
that will be needed in feeding their calves next year.

Livestock Labor Is Cheaper In Harvesting Crops Than Is Man Labor; Proof 




Excellent junior calves like this one, owned by William Rankin, Marengo County, are more beautiful to 
the good dairyman than is the milk maid wearing nylon hose. 



By J. C. LOWERY, extension agronomist 

»pOW labor is cheaper than man labor," 
concluded V. R. Greene, county agent 
of Russell County, more than 10 years ago. 

"It is much cheaper and easier for a cow to 
graze feed than it is for the farmer to grow 
feed, harvest it, store it in the barn and then 
carry it to the cow," he reasoned. 

He also observed that agriculture of the 
county needed to be better balanced with live- 
stock production. 
He Started Program 

With these thoughts in mind he went about 
advising farmers to grow more and better 
pastures by: 

1. Locating permanent pastures on land 
suited to pasture plants. 

2. Balancing permanent pasture with graz- 
ing crops such as kudzu, small grain, and 
velvet, beans. 

3. Preparing pastureland as well as they 
prepared land for cotton and other crops. 

4. Fertilizing with a minimum of 1,000 
pounds basic slag per acre. 

5. Using adapted crops such as Dallis 
grass, annual lespedeza, and white Dutch 
clover. 

6. Seeding on time. 

7. Mowing to control weeds. 

Results Reported 

He began with a few well planned and de- 
veloped demonstrations with dairymen in the 
Chattahoochee Valley. Here are examples 
of what has taken place in the county during 
the past 10 years. 

Tom Andrews, dairyman, began pasture 
improvement in 1935 by thoroughly prepar- 
ing the land and applying 1,100 pounds of 
basic slag per acre. So successful was his 
pasture that he sold surplus feed. 

Mrs. Evelyn P. Mitchell, producer of beef 
•cattle at Pittsview, applied, at the rate of 
1,000 pounds per acre in 1935, a carload of 
slag on an old abandoned cotton farm. The 
slag was disked in and a seeding made of 
lespedeza and Dallis grass. For years this 
pasture has carried the herd of beef cattle 
with little additional feed. 

A. B. Carroll, Hurtsboro, began in 1937 
developing a pasture by applying 1,000 to 1,- 
500 pounds of basic slag per acre on about 
125 acres. He prepared the land well and 



seeded white Dutch clover and Dallis grass. 
This pasture has enabled Mr. Carroll to pro- 
duce beef cattle with little additional feed. 

Kudzu Helps Hogs 

To cut the cost of hog production, Hugh 
Kite began in 1935 grazing hogs on kudzu 
during the summer months. He has continu- 
ed this practice. Results are that many other 
farmers in the county are now using kudzu 
in growing hogs. 

About 10 years ago Bob Gilmore, dairy- 
man, became interested in establishing kudzu 
as a supplementary summer grazing crop for 
his dairy herd. When sowing oats in the 
early fall he builds narrow balks every 10 
feet for use in setting kudzu. 

In February and early March he set kudzu 
every 6 to 8 feet in these balks. After oats 
were harvested the land was prepared and 
seeded to cowpeas. He got a rapid growth 
of kudzu and obtained a good crop of cow- 
pea hay. 

Will Dozier, Hurtsboro, began improving 
pastures in 1940. He grows oats and vetch 
for winter grazing. By grazing this mixture 
he finds that he does not need to buy any 
peanut hay. He has prepared, fertilized, and 
seeded about 300 acres of permanent pasture. 

Cattle, Cotton and Hogs 

B. Burt, Pittsview, has changed from a

wrench. Use personality and gentility —

hay helps. 



"cotton only" system of farming to one of 
cattle, cotton and hogs. He usually prepares 
his pasture land by breaking it in the fall, 
applying 1,000 pounds of basic slag and seed- 
ing with oats. Dallis grass and lespedeza are 
seeded on the oats in the spring. The oats 
are grazed until June, preventing them from 
smothering out the young lespedeza and Dal- 
lis grass plants. 

For fall and winter grazing, oats and vetch 
or Austrian winter peas are driHe'd in every 
acre of cotton before cotton picking is finish- 
ed. 

He grows corn and velvet beans. After 
the corn is gathered the cows graze the beans. 
They go from the beans to oats and vetch. 

He applies 1,000 pounds of basic slag per 
acre to the oats even though the cotton pre- 
ceding the oats is fertilized with 600 pounds 
per acre of 6-8-4, or the equivalent. The 
oats and vetch are grazed until time to pre- 
pare the land for cotton. 

His grazing program enabled him to carry 
cattle through the winter in good condition 
without the use of any hay, a considerable 
quantity of which he had purchased. 

George Adams began pasture improvement 
in 1935. His system is oats and vetch or Aus- 
trian winter peas seeded early in the fall for 
winter grazing. He also broadcasts velvet 
beans in the summer to furnish grazing in 
the winter. He is now establishing Caley 
peas and 40 acres of Manganese Bur clover. 

Improved Old Pasture 

L. A. Cliatt began 10 years ago improving 
an old abandoned pasture by preparing the 
land and applying 1,000 pounds of hasic slag 
per acre and seeding to oats in the fall. Dal- 
lis grass and annual lespedeza were seeded 
the following spring. 

He has his pasture in three 100-acre blocks 
so that controlled grazing can be practiced. 
He broadcasts velvet beans to furnish some 
winter grazing. Kudzu is used for supple- 
mentary grazing. The frosted plants also 
are grazed. 

B. W. Capps began 10 years ago by clear- 
ing a swamp, prepared it, and applied 1,000 
pounds of basic slag per acre and seeded to 
Dallis grass and annual lespedeza. He is now 
developing lespedeza sericea as a supple- 
mentary grazing crop. 

James Gunter, a 4-H club boy, cleared a 
swamp, prepared it and fertilized with a min- 
imum of 1,000 pounds of basic slag per acre 
in 1937. He began growing cattle and hogs, 
and from the sales of livestock from this pas- 
ture project is now paying his way through 
Auburn. 

B. B. Comer, Pittsview, took an abandoned 
cotton farm and developed a grazing pro- 
gram. He grazes hogs on permanent pasture 
in the summer, grows sorghum for summer 
grazing and oats and vetch or Austrian win- 
ter peas for winter grazing. He plants les- 
pedeza sericea on the higher land and Dal- 
lis grass, annual lespedeza and white Dutch 
clover on the bottom. 

A. F. Randall improved an area on Uchee 
Creek by breaking, disking and applying 
about one ton of basic slag and a ton of lime 
per acre and seeding to lespedeza, Dallis 
grass and white Dutch clover. 

He grows about 100 acres of a mixture of 
oats and vetch or Austrian winter peas for 
winter grazing. He has another field of 100 
acres of vetch and oats which is used for 
grazing dairy cows and calves. 

He says that "this system ruined my feed 
bill." 

First With Sericea 

Tom Kendricks is operating a. farm former- 
ly owned by C. M. Brennan. For years the 
Brennan farm has been a trial ground for va- 
rious legumes and pasture plants. 

One of the first, if not the first, plantings 
of lespedeza sericea made in Alabama was 



This Month In Rural Alabama 



Found In Russell County 

made on this farm nearly 20 years ago. It 
is believed that the first grazing of lespedeza 
sericea done in Alabama was on this farm 
in 1933. The crop has been grazed success- 
fully since that date. 

This farm had the largest planting of bi- 
color in the United States in 1945. On the 
farm were found such plants as Kobe, Korean 
and common lespedeza, Carolina clover, 
some red clover, white Dutch, and several 
others. 

The present operator, Tom Kendricks, is 
continuing dairying on the farm and further 
developing the pasture and feed program. 
He has an excellent pasture of Dallis grass, 
annual lespedeza, and sericea. He points out 
there is no problem now about grazing be- 
cause the farm furnishes considerably more 
grazing than is needed. 

Smooth Vetch Volunteering 

James Williams, who has part of the Bren- 
nan farm, uses smooth vetch and oats for 
winter grazing. Smooth vetch volunteers in 
all parts of his pasture. He has an area of 
Johnson grass in which smooth vetch volun- 
teers in winter and Johnson grass in the sum- 
mer for grazing. 

F. A. Walker of Hatchechubbee began 
about 10 years ago by preparing, fertilizing, 
seeding and properly managing 200 acres for 
pastures.

standing jobs of pasture improvement in- 
clude : William Bickerstaff , Hale Bickerstaff ,

P. Walker, Hugh Vann, S. B. Williams, B. B.

Ed Chocran, and Emory Johnson. 

Dairy and Beef Cattle 

In summarizing 10 years of pasture im- 
provement in Russell County, County Agent 
Greene points out that in the Chattahoochee 
Valley area an extensive dairy and beef cat- 
tle program has developed. 

Throughout the county, he says, livestock 
production of some form has become an im- 
portant part of agriculture. He emphasizes 
that the success of a pasture and feed pro- 
gram is based on land use — permanent pas- 
ture on the bottom areas, and sericeas, kud- 
zu and Johnson grass on the higher land. He 
says that sericea is still in the trial stage, but 
that it looks very promising. Kudzu is the 
best summer grazing crop at the present. 



56 Crops On Same Farm 

JAMES T. GRACE, 85-year-old farmer, 
Oakman, Rt. 2, Walker County, has pro- 
duced 56 consecutive crops on his present 
farm. Last year he produced 70 bushels of 
corn plus livestock and garden products. 

Mr. Grace is still interested in modern 
farming. During the last few years he has 
been improving his soil, seeding and fertiliz- 
ing his pastures as per recommendations of 
the experiment station. 

This spring he is seeding and fertilizing 
more pasture and Kobe lespedeza. He is 
devoting most of his time to the training of 
his son, who recently returned from the Navy. 



Save Egg Cases 

SAVE every egg case. If you have a case 
that is broken and you can't put it in 
good order let some one have it who can re- 
pair it. 

We have never been so short of egg cases, 
and our need for them is going to be tremen- 
dous this spring. To waste an egg case may 
mean that eggs will be wasted this spring. 




The Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station recommends that farmers making less than 30 bushels of 
corn per acre continue to plant open-pollinated varieties. On the other hand, where good soil-building prac- 
tices have been followed and sufficient commercial fertilizers are used, an adapted hybrid will produce more 
grain than the best open-pollinated variety.

of corn. 



Cotton Can Compete — If 



SAID Secretary Anderson in a talk at Associa- 
tion meeting of Cotton Textile Merchants 
in New York City: 

"There is no reason why American cotton 
cannot compete — whether with foreign cotton or 
with rayon, paper, or any other substitute — pro- 
vided the entire industry cooperates in seeing 
to it that the price is right, the performance is 
right, and that cotton gets its share of the new 
products being developed. 

"Let's admit the truth. Where foreign cot- 
ton or substitutes are pushing our raw cotton 
out of the market, the reasons generally are tied 
up with price or performance. Rayon fiber that 
fifteen years ago cost five times as much as 
Strict Middling 1-1/16 inch cotton, now is sev- 
eral cents cheaper than this quality cotton. In 
the world market, Brazilian cotton sells for sev- 
eral cents less than our domestic price and Gov- 
ernment export payments are required to enable 
our cotton to compete with it."

ing some of the lespedeza hay he produced on his farm.

Cotton, Cattle, Hog Farm 

GEORGE O. WHITE is converting a 700- 
acre Limestone Valley farm near Col- 
linsville, Alabama, into a productive livestock 
and cotton farm. 

The farm is now fast approaching a 50- 
bale-per-year cotton farm, a 100-animal beef 
cattle farm, and a 5-ton-per-year hog farm. 
There were 75 acres of improved pasture, 25 
acres of lespedeza sericea and kudzu, 20 
acres of annual lespedeza, and 85 acres of 
winter cover crops, along with a rather large 
acreage of cotton and corn, in 1944. 

When Mr. White bought this farm three 
years ago, it was an example of the bad ef- 
fects of soil erosion and years of a one-crop 
system of farming. There were at the time 
about 175 acres of eroded unterraced crop 
land — perennials, no hays, no improved pas- 
tures, a number of acres of low wet land 
which needed draining, and the farm build- 
ings were inadequate and dilapidated. 

Mr. White developed a plan which provid- 
ed for putting all acres on the farm to produc- 
tive use. The plan called for increasing the 
cropland to 218 acres with 161 acres to be 
used for row crops, 53 acres for perennial 
hays, 142 acres for permanent pastures, and 
the remainder to be used for woodlands, 
orchards, house sites, a farm pond, roads, 
and streams. 

Adequate houses and barns were provided 
and the fields were enlarged by clearing. 
Perennial vegetation was planted in the de- 
pressions through the fields for the develop- 
ment of meadows to be used as water disposal 
areas for the terraces. 

Construction of the Nichols type terraces 
was begun and eroded steep areas were 
planted to perennial legume crops. Crop ro- 
tations, including large quantities of both 
summer and winter legumes and small grains, 
were begun. Small grain and winter legumes 
were planted early in the fall so that they 
could be used during the winter for grazing 
crops. Low-lying wet creek and branch bot- 
toms were cleared and drained. 

Fences around the pastures were improved 
and pasture improvement begun. Perennial 
legumes planted on the steep and eroded 
areas and the winter legume and small grain 
crops will be used to supplement the perma- 
nent pastures. 

All woodlands are now protected from 
fire and the selective cutting of timber is 
practiced. Each year finds more and more 
of the planned practices being established.

Whoopee! Let 'er buck! Such thrills as this one are in store for those thou- 
sands who attend the big rodeo in Birmingham, April 29-May 4. In connection 
with the rodeo, Alabama 4-H and FFA members will stage their largest fat stock 
show and sale. Indications are that over 1,000 steers will be entered. 



Good Crop System 

HD. REAVES, farm manager 
. on the farm of George 
Adams, Cottonton, Alabama,, has 
found that rotation of cotton, 
oats, cowpeas and corn (corn in- 
terplanted with velvet beans) is 
an excellent crop rotation. The 
cotton is fertilized with about 500 
pounds of 4-10-7 and then side- 
dressed with about 200 pounds of 
nitrate of soda. The corn is fer- 
tilized with 200 pounds of 4-10-7 
and side-dressed with about 100 
pounds of nitrate of soda. The 
corn stalks and velvet beans are 
grazed after the corn is harvest- 
ed. 

On the same farm Kobe and 
sericea lespedezas are proving 
profitable for grazing, hay and 
seed. They are properly fertiliz- 
ed, principally with phosphate. 

300 acres of Dallis grass, com- 
mon lespedeza and white Dutch 
clover are giving excellent graz- 
ing. The pastures were fertilized 
with a ton of lime when establish- 
ed and with an annual applica- 
tion of 500 pounds of phosphate. 



More Kudzu Planted 

IN spite of labor shortages and 
the difficulty of obtaining kud- 
zu crowns, Alabama farmers have 
continued to expand kudzu acre- 
age. Between January 1, 1942, 
and December 31, 1944, 43,698 
acres of kudzu were planted by 
Alabama farmers having soil con- 
servation district farm plans. Dur- 
ing 1944, when the labor shortage 
was most acute, these farmers 
planted 16,547 acres of kudzu. 



These Sheep Paying 

TTERE'S a good sheep story 
from F. M. Jones, Marengo 
County agent: 

In 1940 there were about 15 
small flocks of sheep, none of 
which had purebred rams. Lambs 
were being used largely for home 
use and barbecues. A few were 
being sold, but had to be carried 
to Montgomery for market. 

County and assistant agents 
and Sears-Roebuck sponsored a 
sheep project with 4-H club boys. 
In shows held in Selma, five pure- 
bred rams were awarded to 4-H 
club members as prizes won at 
these sheep shows. 

Other farmers began to get in- 
terested after seeing the improve- 
ment in the quality and size of 
lambs by using purebred rams. 
At present there are approxi- 
mately 35 flocks of sheep in the 
county. The average flock con- 
sists of one purebred ram and 20 
to 25 ewes. There are now 27 
purebred rams in service in Ma- 
rengo County. Emphasis has been 
placed on (1) providing winter 
grazing for sheep, (2) lambs be- 
ing bred in July and August in 
order to have early lambs in De- 
cember and January; and (3) 
sheep being kept free of internal 
parasites by properly using 
phenothiazine, copper sulfate, 
and nicotine sulfate. 

Last year we had the first lamb 
sale in Demopolis when more 
than 200 lambs were graded and 
sold by grades. Plans are under 
way to have two lamb sales this 
year in Demopolis.

YOU AND I CAN HELP 
CRITICAL FOOD 
SITUATION 



SECRETARY CLINTON P. ANDERSON of the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture spoke recently about food. He said: 
"In half of Europe today the urban population is existing on as 
little as 2,000 calories, or less, per day, compared to the 3,260 calories 
per day which we estimate the people of this country will have dur- 
ing 1946. Worse than that, 100,000,000 people in Europe are exist- 
ing on 1,500 calories, or less, per day. 

"The bread ration in France and Italy is half a loaf per day. 
And two-thirds of the diet is bread. The people of Europe have 
been eating their own supplies at a rate that cannot be maintained. 
The next six months will be worse than the last six. The future 
peace of the world, the human rights for which we fought the war, 
will be imperiled if we allow starvation to go on unchecked." 

After reading this I said to myself: "Suppose I could get only 
1,500 calories, or less, per day instead of 3,260 calories per day which 
each person in this country is expected to have in 1946?" 

Then it occurred to me that I can do something about it. And 
you can, too, if you have land and other things essential to making 
a vegetable garden. 

This reminded me that our food supply is now as short as it 
was at any time during the war. In fact, it seems to be less because 
more people in the European countries are now dependent upon us 
for food. During the war we were helping to feed our Allies. Now 
millions of people in what were the enemy countries are crying for 
food. . . starving. 

They are making food as fast as they can, and as much as they 
can, but these countries were wrecked by war. So it will be a year 
or more before they can do a full job of making food. 

These home vegetable gardens that we make are very profitable 
for us. Making them is good exercise. Food that we make helps 
to supply our needs, thereby reducing our requirements upon the 
general food supply. 

If we make it at home no transportation is needed. This will 
enable the railroads to do a better job of supplying those who are 
in dire need. 

It's really a big thrill to make a vegetable garden. You will 
need enough land, fertilizer, seed, and tools. Don't try it if your 
land isn't suitable because you'll fail, and be disappointed. 

Another part of this food shortage calls for attention. It is that 
of livestock. During the war more meat, milk, and eggs were want- 
ed and these products were priced high enough to increase produc- 
tion. Grain and other feed were fed to livestock and poultry. 

With millions of people starving, grains and other feed that 
normally go into livestock are now going direct to people, leaving 
less for livestock and poultry. Indications are that this will continue 
for sometime. 

It calls for many adjustments in livestock and poultry. When 
grain £rom the Midwest began going direct to Europe in bigger quan- 
tities it left less for our flocks and herds in the United States. We 
in Alabama became alarmed. Up in New England they had to reduce 
their poultry because New England farmers depend upon the Mid- 
west for grain. The same is true of turkey farmers in the West, 
lamb feeders in Colorado, and others. 

This reminds me again that in Alabama we must base more of 
our livestock and poultry production on feed that we make on our 
own farms. This is true all the time ; and absolutely essential now. 
If we have this feed we are independent of others. Then we'll pro- 
duce meat, milk, and eggs at a lower cost, thereby leaving bigger 
profits for us. Along with these big advantages, we'll be improving 
our land while using it. This, too, is very important. 

In addition to making food in gardens and feed for livestock by 
pastures, we can make more feed with our corn crop. I mentioned 
this last month. 

By planting corn at the right time to have it maturing when 
rains are due to come we should make much more. Along with this, 
we need to apply more fertilizer, if we can get it. I realize, however, 
that the fertilizer supply this year is not enough. 

We can do a better job of cultivating corn by laying by earlier. 
Many farmers have reduced their corn crop by cultivating it too late, 
— especially by deep cultivation. 

Grain sorghums offer another fine opportunity for Alabama to 
produce more feed. If you haven't tried grain sorghum 1 suggest 
that you start this year. Your county agent is ready to help you. 

All indications now are that returns from farming will be good 
this year. So every farmer needs to produce as much as he can of 
whatever he plants; and do this at a low cost per unit produced. 
This is good farming.

THESE past few years, farm machinery has 
sort of slipped up on the blind side of the 
cotton mule. 

Mechanized cotton farming is not some- 
thing just around the bend of the road ahead. 
It's already moving on to cotton farms at a 
pretty good clip. 

When anybody mentions cotton machinery 
some of us think of mechanical cotton pick- 
ers and flame cultivators. But a farmer who 
changes from a one-horse plow to a two- 
horse cultivator has begun to mechanize, and 
a lot of farmers have made that change. 

And, of course, in many parts of the Cot- 
ton Belt tractors are pulling right ahead. In 
some sections a lot of cotton is now produced 
with four-row tractor equipment. With these 
machines, cotton farmers use only about 23 
hours of labor per acre compared to 140 
hours used with one-mule equipment and 
hand picking. 

Already there's a trend toward fewer 
workers in the job of raising cotton and a 
trend toward larger farms better suited to 
machinery. Where will that put us 10 or 15 
years from now? 





Best Grain Sorghum Varieties 

D. G. STURKIE, Agronomist 
Agricultural Experiment Station 

GRAIN sorghum planted after June 1 is 
much more likely to produce a success- 
ful crop than is late planted corn. It stands 
dry weather better than corn, and it is quick 
maturing. For these reasons, the crop has an 
important place in grain production in Ala- 
bama. 

By no means should grain sorghum be con- 
sidered a substitute for corn that can be plant- 
ed at the proper time. Rather, it is an addi- 
tion to the corn. In other words, it lets the 
farmer spread out his spring grain planting 
over a longer period. 

There are several ways of handling the 
crop for feed. Its chief use is as a grain feed. 
In such a case it is harvested with a combine, 
and the stalks left standing in the field may 
be grazed with cattle or hogs. It may be cut, 
shocked in the field, and later fed as stover 
(grain heads and stalks). Another way is 
to hog-off or graze the mature crop. Also, 
grain sorghum may be used while green as 
temporary grazing crop, or cut and fed green. 

Varieties 

The Agricultural Experiment Station, A. 
P. I., has tested a large number of varieties 
of grain sorghum for adaptability in Ala- 
bama. On the basis of these experiments, the 
station recommends the following: 

For harvesting grain with a com- 
bine, Early Hegari, Martin's Com- 
bine, Caprock, Plainsman, and 
Early Kalo. 

For cutting and feeding green, 
Hegari (commonly called high- 



gear) and Sagrain. 

For harvesting heads by hand, 
Hegari, Sagrain, Early Hegari, and 
Caprock. 

Martin's Combine, Caprock, and Plains- 
man are similar, and mature about the same 
time as Early Hegari. The stalks grow to 
3^ to 4 feet, which makes the three varie- 
ties well suited to harvesting the heads with 
a combine. All three have open heads, and 
produce good yields of grain. However, stov- 
er yields from the three are low. 

Early Hegari is probably the best variety 
from the standpoint of both grain and stover 
yields. 'It is similar to Hegari, but is about 
10 days to two weeks earlier. It can be grown 
successfully in any part of the state. Early 
Hegari produces stalks about 4V& to 5 feet, 
and the grain may be harvested with a com- 
bine. Its chief weakness is that it tends to 
fall down or lodge, especially if planted too 
thick. However, it lodges less than Sagrain 
or Hegari. 

Rough on Fleas 

WHETHER those blood-sucking pests are 
dog fleas, cat fleas, rat fleas, chicken fleas, 
or hog fleas, or whether they are under the 
house, in the barn, out in the yard, or on the 
backs of your animals, DDT will get them. 

The U. S. Department of Agriculture has a 
circular which will tell you the different prep- 
arations of DDT to use under different circum- 
stances, and gives you the hints and precau- 
tions you need to follow in handling DDT. Ask 
for the Circular on "The Use of DDT in Con- 
trolling Fleas." 

i ! / 



Early Kalo is recommended only where an 
early-maturing variety is needed. It is about 
10 days earlier than Early Hegari. The yield 
of grain from this variety is very good but the 
stover yield is low. It grows 4 to 41/jj feet high 
and may be harvested with a combine. Early 
Kalo lodges badly ; therefore, it must be har- 
vested as soon as the grain is mature. Mid- 
land, a new variety bred from Early Kalo, in 
the 1945 test proved superior to Early Kalo 
and does not lodge. 

Sagrain varies in height from 5 to 7 feet, 
tends to break over after the grain is mature, 
and cannot be easily harvested with a com- 
bine. It usually outyields Hegari in stover 
but not in grain. Sagrain matures too late 
to be grown with safety in northern Alabama. 

Hegari grows 5 to 6 feet tall, and has large 
leafy juicy stalks, and large semi-loose heads. 
Like Sagrain, it may be killed by fall frosts 
in the northern part of the state if not plant- 
ed before July. It is difficult to harvest with 
a combine. It is an excellent variety where 
heads and stalks are cut for feed or where 
it is grazed by livestock. 



Likes Hybrid Corn 

LB. HUDSON, Jasper, Rt. 2, is making 
plans to plant more hybrid corn this 
year. Last year he grew more corn per acre 
from hybrid seed than any other variety ever 
grown on his farm.

This Month In Rural Alabama 



Cancer Can Be Cured 

(Prepared especially for This Month in Rural Ala- 
bama by the State Department of Health.) 

CANCER is one of the most serious diseases 
known to medical science. It stands in 
second place in the United States and in 
fourth place in Alabama as a cause of death. 
Few forms of illness indeed are causing as 
much distress or saddening as many homes as 
this one. 

Early Cancer Is Curable 

One reason why cancer still has such a 
frightening sound to the average person, and 
with good reason, is that it has long been re- 
garded as an especially fatal disease, and a 
cancer diagnosis, in most people's minds, is 
virtually a death sentence. That, fortunately, 
is a much too pessimistic view to take. Ac- 
tually, early diagnosis and treatment with 
modern procedures have given real meaning 
to the* slogan "Early Cancer Is Curable." 

But don't overlook that all-important word 
"early." Those who, through ignorance, fear, 
superstition or something else, allow their 
condition to progress from the early to a late 
state find little comfort in the vital statistics 
reports or in the case histories in the files 
of cancer experts. So it is the part of wisdom 
to detect the disease as early as possible and 
begin treatment by a competent physician 
(not a cancer quack promising miraculous 
cures for a big fee). 

Symptom of Early Cancer 

Fortunately, cancer begins to produce 
symptoms almost as soon as it develops, but 
those symptoms are not such as to attract 
considerable attention. Unless one is fairly 
cancer-conscious, one is likely to overlook 
them entirely or mistake them for the symp- 
toms of one or more other diseases. 

And what are the usual symptoms of early 
cancer? you may ask. Here they are: 

1. A persistent and unexplained lump, 
especially in a woman's breast. 

2. A sore which does not heal within a rea- 
sonable time, especially one on the mouth, 
face or lips. 

3. Any form of bleeding or Mood-stained 
discharge from the vagina, rectum or other 
natural body opening. 

4. Persistent and unexplained indigestion. 

5. A sudden change in the size or color 
of a mole or wart. 

Early Treatment Important 

The advantages of early treatment are em- 
phasized by some percentage figures prepar- 
ed by the Field Army of the American Can- 
cer Society. The Field Army statisticians re- 
vealed, for instance, that: 

Whereas 75 per cent of early cases of can- 
cer of the breast may be expected to recover, 
that encouraging percentage drops to only 20 
when treatment does not begin until the dis- 
ease has progressed to a late stage. 

Eighty per cent of all cases of cancer of 
the cervix of the womb may be regarded as 
curable if treated early but only 10 per cent 
may expect a cure if treated late. 

The percentage of cures for cancer of the . 
mouth is about 80 when treatment is begun 
early and only 20 when treatment does not 
begin until an advanced stage has been reach- 
ed. 

A cure for cancer of the lip may be expect- 
ed in 85 cases out of a hundred in the early 
stages but such a cure may be expected in 
only 10 per cent of late-Stage cases. 

The percentages of cures for early and late 
cases are 95 and 30 for cancer of the skin, 50 
and for cancer of the rectum, and the same 
for cancer of the bladder. 

Free Cancer Clinics 

Fortunately, the State Department of 
Health, in cooperation with hospitals, is main- 
taining six cancer clinics where the indigent 
and medically indigent may receive free diag-

Good Principles Of Farm Mortgage Lending 



THE Agricultural Commission of the Ameri- 
can Bankers Association has advised 
country bankers: 

1. That a good farm mortgage loan must 
have back of it a good farm and a good farm- 
er. 

2. That an amortized mortgage loan to a 
good farmer on a good farm, when properly 
appraised, is truly self-liquidating. 

3. That country banks' are going to have 
an opportunity to make many farm mortgage 
loans in the period just ahead. 

4. That applications will be for the pur- 
chase of farms ; others for repair and replace- 
ment of buildings, equipment, fences, terrac- 
ing, drainage or irrigation, and other im- 
provements. 

In this connection, farmers will be interest- 
ed in the following principles of farm mort- 
gage lending which the commission has rec- 
ommended to country bankers: 

The test of a good farm mortgage loan is 
one where the farm offered as security will 
produce sufficient income to pay operating 
^expenses including taxes and insurance, pro- 
vide a living for an average family, and leave 
enough margin to pay interest and principal 
on the loan. 

The loan should be amortized on a plan 
adapted to the borrower's ability to repay, 
and the loan contract should permit advance 
payments on principal. Loans made during 



Toads do not cause warts on 
the hands of those who handle 
them. These ugly little animals 
are a very real help to the 
farmer, because they destroy 
so many insects that are harm- 
ful to vegetation. One toad is 
worth $19.44 in a single season because of the cut- 
worms it consumes, to say nothing of the snails, slugs, 
and insects which it eats in addition. 



nosis and treatment. Persons wishing to ob- 
tain full information regarding them should 
inquire of their county health departments, 
their county departments of public welfare 
or their own physicians. 




periods of high income should provide for 
rapid repayment until reduced to an amount 
that can be carried with much lower farm 
income. 

Records such as land classification maps, 
soil maps, and aerial photographs should be 
used to help determine the quality and pro- 
ductivity of the land in the territory and of 
the farm offered as security. 

Farm property offered as security should 
be appraised by a qualified person familiar 
with local farming practices and values. His 
report -should show description of the land as 
to its productivity, types of soil, and its rela- 
tive value with other farms in the community. 

The appraiser's report, which becomes a 
permanent record of the bank, should include 
full information as to the borrower and his 
family, his character and industry, his atti- 
tude toward conserving the soil and building 
up his property, and his experience and abil- 
ity as a manager. 

In making an appraisal of the farm, first 
consideration should be given to the income 
which the farm is expected to yield at av- 
erage farm prices over a period of years. 

Farm buildings should be appraised ac- 
cording to their usefulness to the business of 
the farm, on the basis of their contribution 
to the farm income rather than on their cost. 

Loans should be supported by adequate 
records — records that can be made available, 
if necessary, to the bank examiners to con- 
firm the judgment of the bank officers and 
directors who made the loan. 



Egg Program That Works 

EGG marketing program in Clay County 
last year was very good. 
R. H. Harkins, Ashland, and C. F. Hodnett, 
Lineville, operate trucks over 70 per cent of 
the county's area picking up eggs and deliver- 
ing feed. They have had a contract with a 
Birmingham concern for 18 years for their 
eggs. .Some also are sold in adjoining towns. 

Last year the lowest price paid for eggs 
was 33 4 per dozen. Premiums are paid for 
quality eggs at all times. This encourages 
farmers to sell quality eggs. 

It is estimated the gross income was $202,- 
000 last year. Value of eggs used at home 
is estimated at $60,000 to $75,000. — W. H. 
Cowan, county agent.

farmers Qautioned On Using Of o!Minor Elements 



By A. L. SOMMER, Associate Soil Chemist 
Agricultural Experiment Station 

WITH positive proof of benefits from the 
general use of minor elements as ferti- 
lizer on Alabama soils still in doubt", great 
caution should be taken in using boron, cop- 
per, manganese, and zinc sulfate until more 
is known about rates and methods of appli- 
cation. 

Relatively small amounts of boron and cop- 
per may be injurious, even to the extent of 
failure of the crop to which applied. This is 
particularly true for sandy and gravelly soils. 
Amounts necessary for increased yields on 
heavy soils have often proved injurious in 
experiments on sandy soils. Also, different 
crops vary greatly in their need for and tol- 
erance of the various minor elements. 

Copper And Manganese 

While copper and manganese have been 
found essential to yields of some crops in va- 
rious parts of the world, thus far no defici- 
encies of these two elements have been prov- 
ed in this state. However, lack of extensive 
evidence does not justify a statement that 
such deficiencies do not exist. On the other 
hand, applications of zinc in tests have given 
good results in certain pecan orchards and 
with corn on some soils. 

After a good start corn plants may have 
younger leaves that are light green and some- 
times may .have leaves with almost white 
stripes. In some cases the youngest leaves 
are almost white, a condition that is known 
as white bud. Corn plants so effected usual- 
ly respond well to applications of zinc. Zinc 
sulfate at the rate of 10 pounds per acre mix- 
ed with other fertilizer and applied with a 
drill has been used successfully. It may also 
be broadcast at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds 
per acre. 

On the other hand, the lack. of such symp- 
toms does not necessarily mean that the soil 
is supplying enchigh. of these so-called minor 
elements for good plant growth. For instance, 
increased yields have been obtained from ap- 
plying a mixture of these elements to cotton 
and corn which showed no characteristic 
symptoms of such .deficiencies. These tests 
were on some of the sandy soils of the state. 



Some Soils Respond 

Some and possibly many of the soils of the 
state may respond well to applications of 
these minor elements. However, general use 
of these materials is not recommended. The 
best method known at present is to test a 
suspected field. In such a case the farmer 
would apply the minor elements with the 
regular fertilizer to small portions of the 
field. In order to have a basis for compari- 
son, other small portions of the field of the 
same size and soil composition would be 
treated with the regular fertilizer at the same 
rate but with the minor elements omitted. 
Thus, the crop yields from the element-treat- 
ed and no-element-treated portions of the 
field cduld be compared. Little or no depend- 
able results will be obtained if insufficient 
amounts of the regular fertilizer are used. 




Treated Fence Post Demand 

FC. CLAPP, county agent, Barbour Coun- 
. ty, recently wrote: 

"A survey of 62 farms in the county show- 
ed that this year farmers would buy 11,150 
creosoted posts at a cost of 25^ to 30<* a post 
and would hire treated 10,150 at 15^ to 20^ 
a post — a total indicated demand by 10 per- 
cent of the landowners of 21,300 posts. 

"It is safe to say that there is an immediate 
dema»d in the county for at least 200,000 
posts and a yearly demand thereafter for at 
least 70,000 posts. These figures are very 
conservative."

Fumigating stored corn with carbon disul- 
phide is one of the most effective ways of 
controlling weevil damage. 



IOO% Better Poultry 

P. R. PETTIS, Fayette County Agent 

WE have made a special effort for the past 
five years to get farmers to improve 
the quality of their poultry by buying better 
baby chicks from year to year or by having 
their best flocks culled and blood tested and 
by buying cockerels to head these flocks. 

The number of farmers having flocks 
blood tested and culled for producing hatch- 
ing eggs for themselves and for the market 
has increased from 15 to 20 to 96 this year. 
Also, 75 to 80. per cent of these flock owners 
are using R. O. P. cockerels to head these 
flocks. This year this involves better than 
9,000 hens. 

Eggs produced by these flocks are sold to 
the two hatcheries in Fayette and also to 
hatcheries at Winfield, Tuscaloosa, and other 
hatcheries out of the county. 

In promoting this program, we have had 
two points in mind. First, to improve the 
quality of the poultry in the county as a 
whole, and second, to provide a better mar- 
ket price and income for the farmers that 
were producing the eggs. 
' B. H. Cravlee and G. J. Gravlee of the 
Newtonville community have kept a pen of 
hens in the poultry breeding program at Au- 
burn for the past four or five years. Results 
have been that they have grown out a large 
number of R. O. P. cockerels. 

Also, they have done considerable work in 
other improvements such as rapid feathering 
and livability. They keep the Rhode Island 
Red breed and have purchased the best cock- 
. erels that were available in the United States. 

Considering the work as a whole in Fayette 
County we believe that the quality of the 
poultry produced throughout the county is 
100 per cent better than it was five years ago 
when we began this program. I might add 
further that we do considerable work with 
these people on disease and insect control, 
feeding and general poultry management. 

14,313 Handbags Made 

LEVICE B. ELLIS 
Extension Clothing & Handicraft Specialist 

MAKING handbags at home has proved a 
most profitable type of handicraft for 
Alabama home demonstration club women. 

A demonstration conducted in the 1946 Ex- 
tension Service clothing program resulted in 
making handbags at home from felt, benga- 
line, faille, ticking, osnaburg and feed sacks. 
14,313 bags were made by the 48 counties 
participating. 

These bags cost $10,304.00. At the retail 
price and estimated saving was made of $35,- 
457.00. Actually as many old handbags were 
repaired, recovered, mended and re-tinted 
and put back into satisfactory service. Re- 
ports from the various" counties and club 
members give the following: 

During October women of Marshall Coun- 
ty made 290 handbags at a cost of $176.00. 
At present prices they saved $1,450.00. 

Mrs. Robert Holcombe, Shelby County, re- 
ports that she made 19 fabric bags, most of 
which she gave as gifts to the family and 
friends. 

Mrs. Bryan Gilliand, Rt. 2, Attalla, made 
5 bags, 2 of felt and 3 of rayon. The felt 
bags cost $3.00. They would have cost $20.00 
in the local stores. The rayon bags would 
have cost $5.00. They were made for $1.00 
each. Actual saving on the project was 
$21.00.

Hosiery On The Run 

LEVICE B. ELLIS 
Extension Clothing Specialist 

OINCE rayon stockings as well as the long- 
awaited nylons are hard to find, saving 
stockings has become a matter of serious con- 
cern to women. 

Washing Care: Rayon stockings last long- 
er if washed before being worn and always 
washed with care. Use lukewarm suds of 
mild soap and lukewarm rinsing water. Rayon 
is weak when wet, so squeeze gently to re- 
move soil but avoid pulling, twisting and 
wringing. Wait until hose are dry before 
putting them on. 

Halting a Run: Stop runs or snags immedi- 
ately. Though easily mended when small, a 
little break can pull to impossible proportions 
if neglected even a few minutes. A snag can 
often be stopped simply by pulling the loop 
through to the underside. A run may be held 
by applying a little paste, even tooth paste, 
until it can be mended. The old trick of 
moistening a break, which stopped runs in 
silk hose, does not work with rayons. Moist- 
ening weakens and stretches the rayon and 
encourages the run. 

Dyeing Old Ones: While stockings are 
scarce, wise women will dig into their bu- 
reau drawers and examine old hose. Odd 
stockings — usually it's one stocking of a pair 
that has a run or tear — can be combined and 
redyed to match. First, the wet stpckings 
should be placed in color remover; then stir- 
red around for a few minutes in a pan con- 
taining the mixed dye. They should be rinsed 
in cold water and dried. 

Stored Stockings: Hose held over from one 
season to another last longer if they are 
rinsed occasionally while they are not being 
used. 



Avoid Mixing Strains

It's good to try to develop better strains 
but the common practice of mixing strains

It Makes A Difference 

WHEN times are good, when workers have 
jobs and fat paychecks, they go for a 
meat-milk- and fruit type of diet. When un- 
employment is rife they slump to a flour- 
beans- and potato grocery list. The present 
situation calls for more and better livestock, 
more milk cows, large poultry flocks, and a 
larger production of fruits and vegetables. 
That is the situation as Secretary of Agricul- 
ture Anderson sees it. He believes that soil 
improvement and diversification of crops are 
important to the successful future of agricul- 
ture. 



My Family And Yours 

"She's My Main Job" 

By ELTA MAJORS 
Child Care and Family Life Specialist 

OEVERAL weeks ago a father looked up 
from his work, pointing to an adorable 
little six year old red-head, said "She's my 
main job." 

The father owns a little roadside nursery. 
Many travelers stop there every day. They 
stop as much, or more, to enjoy the lovely 
blossoms as to buy plants. Year after year 
they stop because that father is courteous 
and patient. That's true whether you buy 
only one of his smallest plants or 500 of the 
largest ones. 

Already the little red-head is following in 
his footsteps. A car stops in the driveway. 
Out of the house she comes with a bounce; 
"Can I do something for you?" Or, "Dad's 
down in the field, I'll run get him." She has 
her father's same courteous manner, kindly 
expression and attitude. 

Each day those fundamental traits for get- 
ting along with people, for living are being 
cut a little deeper. The child grows a little 
more like her father. 

She's fortunate. 

First, because she has a father whose ex- 
ample is such that she can learn fundamental 
character and personality traits, without ever 
really knowing how she learned them. 

Second, she has a father who sees in his 
children his main job in life. 

The growing, formative years of a child 
are very short when measured by the total 
length of life. During those few years make 
your children your main job. Throughout life, 
they will yield the highest dividends per in- 
vestment. 

Let those boys and girls know and feel 
they are their parents' most important job.

BUD NORWOOD 

I am going to try and see each voter personally before May 
7th. If I should miss anyone of you, I will try herein to give you 
a few facts about my background which should add to my quali- 
fications for the office of Sheriff of Shelby County. 

For the past seven years I have been employed by the State of 
'Alabama as a law enforcement officer. I have been commended 
by U. S. attorneys, circuit judges, and sheriffs of the numerous 
counties that I have served in during those years, for the fair 
way in which I carried out my duties. 

I have done business with the Columbiana Savings Bank for 
the past thirty years, and I refer you to the officials of that in- 
stitution for my business dealings. I have personally done busi- 
ness with many of you while I was in the cattle business. If we 
have not had any business dealings, I refer you to your neigh- 
bors. 

I have always tried to help the underprivileged and the old 
people, and in this connection I think the Sheriff's office could 
be used more for that purpose, since it is the Sheriff's duty to 
cover the county, and he has opportunity to contact and help 
these less fortunate people. For my record in this respect I refer 
you to the people of my own community. 

If elected, I promise to enforce the laws for all the people 
in Shelby County. I take this opportunity to ask for your vote 
and influence. 

Thanking each of you, 

A. E. (BUD) NORWOOD

Bibb County To Hold 
Liquor Referendum 

Those sponsoring the liquor ref- 
eraidum filed the petitions in the 
office of Judge W. L. Pratt Satur- 
day morning. Under the law, a pe- 
tition containing the names of at 
least 25 per cent of the total vote 
in the last general election, which 
was November, 1944, ,must be filed 
with the Judge of Probate before 
an election can be called. 

The petition was checked Mon- 
day night by clerks in Judge W. 
L. Pratt's office. The list contain- 
ed 447 names. 1551 people voted in 
the general election in 1944, there- 
fore, only 387 names on the peti- 
tion were required to call the elec- 
tion. 

Judge W. L. Pratt stated Mon- 
day that under the law he was re- 
quired to call the election within 
45 days from the date the petition 
was filed in his office. In order to 
save the county expense and the 
voters trouble, he will call the 
election to be held in the regular 
primary, May 7th. — Centreville

SILURIA ROAD ON PAVING 
PROGRAM 

The State Highway Department 
has announced 160 road paving 
projects in 60 counties scheduled 
to be done in 1946 and 1947. 

We note with interest that one 
of the projects listed is the road 
from Montevallo to Siluria. 

It will be very helpful if our cit- 
izens will seek to manifest every 
possible evidence and means of in- 
terest toward getting this piece of 
improvement done. 

It is of course good that it has 
been listed on the state's paving 
program. That is necessarily the 
first step. It is most likely, how- 
ever, that there are yet some con- 
tingencies which can be more read- 
ily solved and dissolved by the 
alertness of local citizens and of- 
ficials. 

We must not let this much need- 
ed project get hung upon a snag 
and delayed unduly. 



SARA ROSE COOK 

Miss Sara Rose Cook, student at 
the University of North Carolina 
at Chapel Hill, spent a few days 
recently at home with her mother, 
Mrs. Kate Cook, and her uncle, Dr. 
Charles T. Acker. Sara graduated 
at Alabama College in 1944, after 
which she spent about seven 
months in Washington working for 
Uncle Sam. She entered the Uni- 
versity of North Carolina January 
1 of this year. Montevallo friends 
have great love and hope for Sara. 
She is a lovely and brilliant young 
lady for whom all of us hold out 
our best wishes for her continued 
successful career. 



HEALTH OFFICER URGES 
GUARD AGAINST CANCER 

April is £ancer Control Month, 
Dr. B. F. Austin, State Health Of- 
ficer, reminded Alabamians today. 

"Cancer caused 2,173 deaths in 
this state, last year," he said in urg- 
ing the people of Alabama to co- 
operate with the Alabama Division 
of the Field Army of the American 
Cancer Society in its annual en- 
listment and intensified cancer ed- 
ucation program which are fea- 
tures of this observance. "There 
are few families to which this di- 
sease has not brought sorrow, and 
many other homes will be invaded 
by this sinister enemy within the 
lifetime of the present generation. 
There is need for a concerted ef- 
fort on the part of all against this 
dreadful disease." 

The State Health Officer listed 
the five main symptoms of early 
cancer as : 

1. A persistent lump, especially 
in the female breast. 

2. A sore which does not heal 
promptly. 

3. Discharge of blood from a nat- 
ural body opening. 

4. Persistent and unexplained in- 
digestion. 

5. A sudden change in the size 
or color of a mole or wart. 

"When any of these appear," he 
urged, "see your physician at once 
to find out whether you really have 
a cancer."

To the Voters of the 15th Senatorial District, 
composed of Autauga, Chilton and 
Shelby Counties: 

When I announced my can- 
didacy for the State Senate, it 
was at the insistence of many 
business men, both within and 
without the Fifteenth District. 
In qualifying for this race I 
gave the matter deep consider- 
ation and fully realize that not 
since World War I has there 
been, nor in the next twenty- 
five years will there be prob- 
lems of such grave importance 
to us all as will come up for 
consideration by the Legisla- 
ture during the next four years. 
The results of World War II 
will present problems that 
need sober, level-headed, sound 
WILL A. GULLEDGE thinking by men of business 
experience, weighing every- thing before taking action. 
My qualifications may be judged by the following: 
For the past forty years I have operated a mercantile busi- 
ness in Verbena, that was established by my father, F. A. Gul- 
ledge, seventy years ago. During all these years, from my boy- 
hood, I have dealt with farmers, saw mill men, contractors, 
manufacturers, miners, laborers and many others who have 
lived or operated in this section of the state, and I know some- 
thing of the problems of them all. I believe we must be fair to 
both labor and industry in order to promote the growth of our 
state. 

I have worked for improvement of schools from early man- 
hood and for nearly eight years have been a member of the 
Board of Education of Chilton County. The improvement of 
our schools and school facilities, including transportation, is 
concrete evidence of my interest in the educational develop- 
ment of the youth of our section. Much more would have been 
done if funds, materials and equipment had been available. By 
earmarking liberal appropriations for increasing salaries of 
teachers we will be able to maintain high standards of training 
and leadership for our children through the high type of teach- 
ers we can employ. We must also provide facilities in each 
county whereby all our children may have Vocational Train- 
ing. Public school education is all the chance many of out 
children will have for training them to live their lives. 

For the past thirty years I have owned some farms whicn I 
have operated with share croppers and renters and I know 
farm problems. I believe that closer contact by County 
Agents and their assistants with the farmers will help them in 
controlling erosion, building soils, diversifying crops and in- 
creasing production without added expense. I believe a man 
who owns his home will make a better citizen and for that rea- 
son I have always encouraged ownership. 

I have been a strong advocate for good roads and have work- 
ed constantly for their improvement. 

I strongly favor helping returned veterans to get establish- 
ed in homes, business or jobs, so that they can feel that they 
are on the same footiing with us who have enjoyed prospent/ 
while they were combatting our enemies. By encouraging new 
industries to develop in our state we can provide employment 
for veterans, and others, and thereby open up markets for 
farm products. In connection with such industry we must con- 
serve and develop our natural resources. 

I have always supported all measures for improvement of 
public health facilities and liberal support of those handicap- 
ped by afflictions and for our old people. 

I favor enforcement of all laws without favor to any. I am 
also opposed to any legislation favoring a few against the • 
masses. I favor elimination of tokens in collection of sales tax 
and feel that by rigid economy in the operation of our state 
government and spending of our surplus funds great prosper- 
ity can come to us all. In the passage of and repeal of laws, I 
shall study them carefully and do my best to be absolutely fair 
to all concerned. 

Due to the fact that I am engaged in business and have my 
own interests to look after, it will be impossible for me to see 
every voter in the district in the limited time I have, but I am 
visiting each community center and stores and where possible 
making some calls in homes. If I am nominated for Senate I 
shall continue to visit in these communities for I want to study 
the individual county problems and do all I can for the better- 
ment of all three counties, individually and collectively. 

I ask for your vote and influence based on my qualifications 
for the job. Yours truly, 

WILL A. GULLEDGE

1 OUR boy or girl comes first

"Whether you are poor or wealthy,

"Good educational facilties cannot

promises. 

"For 30 years I have fought for the welfare of schools. 

"In 1927 I led the Senate fight to put on the 'big mule' taxes 
that raised 88,000,000 for our schools. This saved them from 
wreck and rr-in. 

"My opponent, then in the legislature, fought this school aid 
program to the bitter end. 

"In 1937 I led the House fight for greater aid to education. 

"As Governor I will keep up the fight to see that your boy 
and girl receive the educational advantages that you want them 
to have. 

"My platform and the program of the Alabama Education 
Association are practically identical. 

"Educators throughout Alabama are backing me because

Susan Sharp Honored 
With Birthday Party 

On Wednesday evening, April 3, 
at the Little House, Susan Sharp's 
friends gathered and waited for 
Margaret Anne Hendrick and Bet- 
ty Anne Smitherman to bring Su- 
san down to the Scout House, sup- 
posedly to see the decorations for 
the "Clubba-Hubba." As the three 
girls came up on the porch every- 
one sang out "Happy birthday, 
Susan,'' and the lights were turned 
on. While Susan beamed, the group 
sang "Happy Birthday." 

The Little House was sweet with 
the woodsy perfume of the honey- 
suckle, dogwood, hawthornc, and 
granny graybeard with which it 
was decorated. Not the least to be 
admired of the decorations was the 
large embossed, three-tiered birth- 
day cake occupying a place of 
honor on the piano. 

After the gifts had. been opened, 
inspected and admired, games and 
dancing were enjoyed. 

When the coals in the barbecue 
pit were glowing all went out into 
the yard where each roasted his 
own wiener, opened his own coke, 
and toasted his own marshmallows. 
The cake with fourteen burning 
candles was brought out and cut. 
Elizabeth Chism got the slice con- 
taining the tiny silver rooster, her- 
alding to the world that Elizabeth 
would be the first to wed. 

Our teen-agers now showed their 
excellent Scout training by burn- 
ing up their paper plates and nap- 
kins before returning to their 
games and dancing. A most enjoy- 
able evening was reported t>y ev- 
eryone present. 

Mrs. Paul Rogan and Miss Doro- 
thy King assisted Mrs. Sharp with 
the party. Guests were as follows : 
Bobby Jean Wilson, Betty Anne 
Smitherman, Margaret Anne Hend- 
rick, Laurie Orr, Jane Russell, Ju- 
lia Kennerly, Helen Hood, Maxine 
Vincent, Margaret Kennerly, Ma- 
mie Elise Calhoun, Annie Beeland

Teen-Age Canteen 
Organized Friday 

The Senior Service Girl Scouts 
under the direction of Mrs. George 
Douglas, inaugurated a teen-age 
canteen last Friday night at the 
Little House which was gaily dec- 
orated for the occasion. According 
to reports of the 75 young people 
who attended, this project filled a 
recreational need in a wholesome 
and dignified manner. 

The evening was spent in super- 
vised dancing, singing, and dancing 
games, after which refreshments 
consisting of chocolate malted milk, 
hotdogs, peanuts, potato chips, 
crackers, and cookies, were served 
in the patrol room. Mr. and Mrs. 
Douglas were the official chap- 
erones. 

The canteen will be open to 
teen-agers every Friday night dur- 
ing April and will continue through 
May if there is a demand for it.

Cole Withdraws 
From Board Of 
Education Race 

I am today withdrawing from 
the race for Board of Education in 
Shelby County, May 7, 1946. My 
business obligations are too heavy 
for me to spend any time in the 
campaign. Thus my decision to 
withdraw and ask my friends to 
support the other candidates. I ap- 
preciate very much the support my 
friends have given me and I feel 
that they will fully understand my 
position in this matter.

fellow down here," he said. "I am 
after your vote for Sheriff on May 
7." 

"That's a good bargain," said one 
man who was listening in. "I think 
if you have a chance to settle off 
with the Sheriff by just voting for 
him, you better take it."

GRACE SIMS REPORTS ON 
HOME IMPROVEMENT 

Grace Sims of the Columbiana 
Senior Club did an excellent job on 
her home improvement project last 
year. She assisted with the selec- 
tion of wall paper and with the 
papering of four bedrooms and the 
dining room. 

Grace says, "My mother and 
brother helped me with the paper- 
ing and also with the painting of 
the kitchen, the back porch and the 
woodwork in the living room, din- 
ing room, and bedrooms. They also 
helped me varnish the furniture. 
These rooms were dull and drab 
before but now they are light, 
bright, and cheerful." 

"I canned 70 quarts of fruits and 
vegetables for our family and an 
uncle in the Navy." 

In her yard project Grace has 
started a flower garden. She plant- 
ed several annuals and six rose 
bushes. 

This year Grace chose Personal 
Relationships and Bedroom Im- 
provement for her projects. She 
mends, launders and irons all her 
blouses, dresses and underwear. 
She is making a hat and bag. Grace 
also is improving her personal ap- 
pearance. 

In her bedroom project Grace has 
made a dresser scarf and plans to 
make window curtains, a bedspread, 



pillow cases, a show rack and will 
varnish the floor again.

sensus of opinion that it is one of 
the best pastures in the state. 

At the farm of B. B. Mooney 
we saw Joe and Annie Lou's five 
Hereford steers in addition to the

Veterans May File 
Claim For Pension 

When you received your dis- 
charge papers you were asked at 
the separation center if you want- 
ed to file a claim for pension. No 
doubt many of you failed to take 
advantage of this opportunity. It 
probably was of little interest to 
you at the moment as you were 
eager to get out and home but for 
many of you it was a chance for 
future security. As the years slip 
by you will be reminded of this 
chance as that little touch of rheu- 
matism or nervousness has grown 
into a real disability and a major 
handicap. For many it will be a 
real handicap, so don't delay any 
longer the opportunity to file a 
claim. You will at least have a 
record of the disability on file with 
the Veterans Administration. In the 
future that is the agency you will 
be dealing with. 

Let me remind you that if you 
received any kind of injury, no 
matter how small, or if you were 
treated in an Army or Navy hos- 
pital for any disease and you feel 
any effects from that treatment or 
have any ^ re-occurances of the 
trouble, come into this office and 
let us talk it over with you. 

Any veteran now farming or who 
wishes to farm should contact this 
office. You can be paid $65.00 per 
month if single or $90.00 if married 
or have any dependents. We will be 
glad to explain the program to 
anyone who wishes to farm. — Da- 
vid Norwood, Shelby County Ser- 
vice Commissioner. Columbiana,

Radio Program To 
Honor Roosevelt 

The familiar voice of Franklin 
D. Roosevelt will relive in a special 
2-hour broadcast from WBRC Sat- 
urday, April 13, from 2 till 4:00 
p.m. "Rendezvous With Destiny" 
is a historic compilation, by means 
of transcription, of Roosevelt's 
speeches in which are reflected the 
decisive yea,rs of our history pre- 
ceding and during the Second 
World War. The spirit of those 
years is recaptured in the actual 
words and the familiar voice of 
America's chief executive as broad- 
cast by the National Broadcasting 
Company and recorded at the time. 

Just a year ago in a small white 
cottage in Warm Springs, Ga., 
Franklin Delano Roosevelt passed 
away. This program is a tribute to 
his memory. "Rendezvous With 
Destiny" is the first in a series of 
NBC documentary recordings pro- 
duced under the editorial advisor- 
ship of Dr. James Rowland Angell, 
public service counselor for NBC. 
The album was edited by Caesar 
Saerchinger, author, historian, lec- 
turer, and news analyst.

WHY ELECT PETE JARMAN ? 

Pete Jarman is best qualified to 
represent our district and to serve 
our country in the office of Con- 
gressman. His ability and exper- 
ience combine to make him best 
equipped for the job. 

In the light of his past record 
and his unquestioned ability to 
perform the best service, we can 
see no valid reason why the people 
of the Sixth District could be ex- 
pected to take him out of the job 
and put in a new and inexperienc- 
ed man. 

When a district has a good Con- 
gressman with years of experience, 
occupying committee assignments 
of importajnce, thoroughly ac- 
quainted with domestic and foreign 
problems, and in position to act 
upon them with good judgment and 
effective influence, there is simply 
no reason for any argument to 
change and put in another man. 

No new man in Congress can at 
once step into the sphere 1 of influ- 
ence and the prestige of committee 
assignments now occupied by Mr. 
Jarman, because the rules of or- 
ganization and procedure in Con- 
gress do not permit a new man to 
do so, no matter how great a law- 
yer, orator, or anything else he 
has been in his former capacity. 

This is not said as a reflection 
upon anybody. It is a fact that 
should weigh much in our consid- 
eration of Mr. Jarman and his 
present opponent, who, so far as 
we know, is a worthy and able 
man. He simply cannot expect to 
step into Jarman's place at once. 
He might, after many years in Con- 
gress, come up to the measure of 
Mr. Jarman's present status, but it 
would take him a long time. 

Then, there is no reason we can 
see why Jarman should be taken 
out and a new man put in. Jarman 
deserves to stay in Congress. Our 
district needs his continued ser- 
vices in Congress. He has served 
his district well. He has given due 
attention to all the little things that 
go to make up good service of a 
Congressman to his people. He has 
proved himself big enough to cope 
with the many great problems of 
national and international relations 
throughout the tragic war years. 
He is well grounded in his ability 
and experience to continue service 
in that phase of Congressional rep- 
resentation in the vastly important 
years that lie ahead. 

If you heard Pete Jarman's re- 
cent address on international af- 
fairs over the radio, you will 
certainly agree that, even if for 
no other reason, his knowledge 
of present world affairs is enough 
to make it supremely important 
that the Sixth District keep him as 
our representative.

Dr. Charles Acker Sends Message Of 
Endorsement Of W. W. Wallace For Judge 

To the Voters of Shelby County: 

I yield to no voter in Shelby County in my pride and admira- 
tion for one great citizen — Handy Ellis — and I sincerely hope 
that we may hand him 100 per cent of Shelby County vote — 
but — in our zeal and enthusiasm for our Governor to be, we 
must not overlook the claim on our loyalty, influence and sup- 
port of our native son, Judge W. W. Wallace, who has an op- 
ponent this time, as he offers for re-election as Judge of the 
18th Judicial Circuit. 

Judge Wallace has made a fine record and deserves the solid 
support of his native county. When this campaign is discussed 
the opinion in Montevallo and community is — "Oh, of course 
Judge Wallace will be elected" — or — "I didn't know Judge 
Wallace had any opposition." 

Well, he has an opponent — So, let us reward this kind but 
firm, courageous and capable son of a Confederate officer who 
was a great farmer as well as a scholar. Let's recognize and re- 
ward such outstanding ability and true judicial temperament 
by re-electing Hon. Wales W. Wallace to the position of Judge 
of the 18th Judicial Circuit and we will then feel proud of our- 
selves. 

CHARLES T. ACKER 



To My Friends in Shelby County: 




I wish to express my profound appreciation to the great num- 
ber of people in Shelby County who have indulged in volun- 
tary expressions of continued support and interest. I am equal- 
ly grateful for the atttiude of those who call my attention to 
the fact that they have not heretofore supported me, and am 
delighted to welcome them as friends and supporters. 

Particularly appreciated is the fine spontaneous and un- 
solicited work so many of you are doing. Since no public offi- 
cial is stronger than the people back of him, your interest andj 
efforts are especially important at this crucial time. So keep 
up the good work. 

The necessity of dividing my time between the campaign 
and the performance of important duties in Washington causes 
it to be impossible for me to contact many of you personally, 
and I hope you will consider this as a friendly greeting and 
message of thanks to each of you. I feel confident that through 
your efforts, Shelby County will continue to benefit by the ex- 
perience and contacts in the Nation's Capitol that have proven 
so valuable to you. These assets will ever be used to the best of 
my ability in your behalf. 

Yours sincerely, 

PETE JARMAN

To My Friends and Voters of Shelby 
County, Second District 

If elected as your representative on the Board of 
Revenue, I pledge myself to devote my full time to sup-

I have made no promises to any individual but I will 
give each road my closest attention and consideration. 
I wholeheartedly endorse the extensive post-war paving

the best road building program in its history. 

I propose to get new equipment as soon as machinery 
and funds are available and will employ the best men 
available to operate this equipment under my supervision.

At Home with Handy Ellis 
Candidate for Governor 



Lt. Governor Handy Ellis is devoted to his 
home and family. He likes to milk his cows, 
go on a coon or fox hunt, play with his six 
grandchildren, look after his farm and have 
friends and neighbors drop in at his home on 
the outskirts of Columbiana for a chat about 
community affairs. 



Handy Ellis says that he and Mrs. Ellis plan 
to keep the same sort of hospitable "open 
house" at Montgomery if he is elected Gov- 
ernor that they have always had in their home 
town. The door of the Governor's offire at the 
State Capitol will also always be wide open, 
Mr. Ellis says, to any one who calls. 




Three of Handy Ellis grandchildren, seated by the side 
of the Lieutenant Governor in the State Senate, proudly watch 
him bring the 1945 legislative session to a close. Handy 
Ellis II holds the gavel, while Frank (Butch) and Linda 
Ellis look on.

Shelby 4-H Members 
To Participate In 
Fat Slock Show 

Shelby County 4-H and FFA boys, 
and girls will pay a visit to their 
neighbor, Jefferson County, on May 
2-3 when they bring their steers to 
the Birmingham fat stock show 
and sale. 

Indications are that 50 boys and 
girls will enter about 40 head in 
the event. The young owners have 
been working hard to have their 
steers in top shape, and word here 
is that the animals are splendid. 

Last year 51 Shelby County 4-H 
Club beef cattle projects were com- 
pleted, the steers bringing a total 
of $5,652. Fifteen animals were 
brought to the 1945 Birmingham 
show and sale. 

"Interest all, over the county is 
mounting as the time of the show 
and sale approaches," says A. A. 
Lauderdale, county agent. "The 33 
calves bought by 4-H Club mem- 
bers last fall and financed through 
the local banks at a low rate of in- 
terest have been fed well and given 
fine care. I feel confident that the 
county will be proud of the show- 
ing these boys and girls make at 
Birmingham." 

Four-H Club members who will 
exhibit steers in Birmingham in- 
clude : 

Tommy Johnson, Aaron Hamric, 
H. C. Wooley, Margaret Day,

ham, Tommy Baker, Bobby Baker,

Percy Lee Plays On 
U. of A. Ball Team 

According to the "Crimson- 
White," University of Alabama 
school publication, Percy Lee 
(Slim) was in the starting line-up 
at first base when the University 
baseball team played the Mont- 
gomery Rebels last Thursday. 

Percy is a former Montevallo 
boy, a graduate of the Montevallo 
High School in 1938. He was cap- 
tain of the 1937-38 football team 
which was district champion that 
year. After graduation from high

latter to enlist in the U. S. Navy. 

Recently released from the Navy 
a Lt.(j.g.) reserve, he entered the

his education. 

Percy comes by ball playing as 
natural as a duck to water. He 
inherited it from his daddy, the 
late Percy E. Lee, former rural 
mail carrier here. In the good old 
days the elder Percy Lee was one 
of the outstanding country ball 
players in this section of Alabama. 
That was in the days when Hous-

Dear Friend: 

During the years that you have been my 
close neighbor, I have closely followed your 
career of public service as a member of both 
houses of Legislature and as Lieutenant 
Governor of Alabama. I have been especially 
impressed with your outstanding service to 
the cause of education, which has always 
been so close to my own heart, and with 
your sincere interest in the problems of 
public health, public welfare and the farmers 
of our State, particularly the small farmers. 

I am taking this opportunity to let 
you know that your candidacy for Governor 
has my unqualified endorsement and support. 
I am delighted to receive from many of our 
mutual friends the good news of the fine 
progress of your campaign. It is my hope 
that you will be elected by a substantial

Should my endorsement of your candidacy 
be of any service to you, please feel free 
to let my stand be known. 

With all good wishes, 

Sincerely yours,

In being unopposed for the nomination, or election,

in asking the further continuation of your suffrage. I 
deeply appreciate your past favors, and still desire to 
serve the people fairly, impartially, and efficiently. 

I hope you will consider this a personal solicita- 
tion, and will greatly appreciate your vote on the 7th

Give Alabama Back 
To The PEOPLE 



Alabama voters are tired of being shoved around by po- 
litical ring-masters. The people want their s^tate govern- 
ment back in their own hands. Alabamians want to 
sweep out the office-holding cliques and political ma- 
chines. In State affairs, the voters want no more broken 
promises, and double dealing. Joe Poole — independent 
candidate for governor — is the man who can and will 
clean house.

Training and Experience Make Poole 

THE MAN for THE JOB! 

You go to a shoemaker to fix your shoes because he knows how. 
You should vote for Joe Poole for governor for the same reason — be- 
cause his ability and experience eminently fit Joe Poole for the job. 

Joe Poole has been a practical dirt farmer and a successful busi- 
ness man for over 30 years. 

Joe Poole's 23 years experience as an efficient State legislator and 
a State executive of Alabama qualifies him to promote the best inter- 
ests of all Alabama citizens. An example was his leadership last fall 
in the campaign which protected the people from diversion of the in- 
come tax. 

Joe Poole is honest, fair, progressive, courageous. He is a friend 
of the farmer, labor, management, teachers, veterans. Joe Poole's rec- 
6ril shows that he FIGHTS FOR human rights. Joe Poole is the only 
candidate who has the courage and experience necessary to give Ala- 
bama's government back to the people and keep it close to the people.

To The Voters of Autauga, 
Chilton and Shelby: 




G. C. WALKER 

I have a desire to represent the people of Autauga, 
Chilton and Shelby Counties in the State Senate during 
the next administration. I represent the people of Chilton 
County in the Legislature at the present time. 

Under a long-standing agreement between the three 
counties, it is Chilton's time to furnish a Senator. I feel 
that by education, observation, and experience, I am 
capable to vote for and support legislation that will be 
to the best interests of all the people of the three coun- 
ties. 

I volunteered for service in World War I, and was 
discharged at Camp Pike, Arkansas. I am a member of 
the American Legion, Post No. 6, at Clanton. My only 
child, a son, volunteered for service in World War II, 
and, after almost one year's service, was discharged at 
San Diego, California, on the 14th of September, 1945. 

I will appreciate your vote and support in the Dem- 
ocratic Primary on May 7, 1946. 



Respectfully, 



G. C. WALKER

To My Friends and Voters of Shelby 
County, Second District 

If elected as your representative on the Board of 
Revenue, I pledge myself to devote my full time to sup- 
ervision and maintenance of all roads in my district. 
I have made no promises to any individual but I will 
give each road my closest attention and consideration. 
I wholeheartedly endorse the extensive post-war paving 
program and will work diligently to give Shelby County 
the best road building program in its history. 

I propose to get new equipment as soon as machinery 
and funds are available and will employ the best men 
available to operate this equipment under my supervision. 

On my past record as a foreman and superintendent

American Legion Auxiliary To Observe 
May 18 As Annual "Poppy Day" 



Poppy Day will be observed in 
Montevallo on Saturday, May 18, 
Mrs. Baumgartener, president of 
Hendrick-Hudson Unit of the Am- 
erican Legion Auxiliary, has an- 
nounced. 

Memorial poppies to be worn in 
honor of the dead of both world 
wars will be distributed on the 
streets throughout the day by 
volunteer workers from the Aux- 
iliary and cooperating organiza- 
tions. Contributions received in ex- 
change for the flowers will be used 
in relief and rehabilitation work 
for disabled veterans, their families 
and the families of the dead. 

Extensive preparations for Pop- 
py Day are being made by the Le- 
gion Auxiliary Unit under the di- 
rection of Mrs. W. M. Wyatt, 
poppy chairman. The volunteer 
workers are being organized into 
teams and assigned to locations in 
the downtown area. 

The poppies have been ordered 
from Tuscaloosa where they arc 
being made by disabled veterans of 
both wars, working under the di- 
rection of the Alabama Depart- 
ment of the American Legion Aux-

of France and Belgium in both

Poppies will be more generally

Mrs. Baumgartener predicted. 



Nordan To Open 
Hardware Business 

The Nordan Hardware Company, 
a new business in Montevallo, will 
open in Dr. Mitchell's new build- 
ing next to Benton's Store as soon 
as the building can be completed, 
presumably soon after the first of 
May. 

The owner of the new business, 
Mr. C. O. Nordan, announces that 
he will carry a complete line of 
first class hardware and building 
materials, including tools and 
equipment for farming. The open- 
ing stock is already in hand await- 
ing completion of the building. 
Many other standard and popular 
brands of hardware merchandise 
will be added from time to lime as 
soon as stocks are available. 

Mr. Nordan is a native of Abbe- 
ville, Henry County, Alabama. He 
was associated with his father in 
general mercantile business until 
1935. He attended Auburn where 
he received his B. S. degree in 1939. 
Upon graduation from Auburn he 
went with the Soil Conservation 
Service and worked with the farm- 
ers throughout the counties of Cen- 
tral Alabama until entering the 
army. He served four years in the 
army, eighteen months of which 
was with the American Third Army 
in Europe. He was commanding of- 
ficer of a field artillery unit. 

Returning from Germany early 
this year, he resumed his work 
with the Soil Conservation Service 
and was director of the program in 
Chilton County until he resigned a 
few days ago to engage in prepara- 
tions for opening his business here,. 

Mr. Nordan is the husband of 
the former Theda Wyatt of Mon- 
tevallo. 

Having had many years exper- 
ience in assisting farmers through 
the Soil Conservation Service, Mr. 
Nordan will naturally continue his 
interest in farming and will be glad 
to personally help the farmers of 
this section in any way he can.

Presbytery Meets 
With Local Church 

The Presbytery of Birmingham 
met Tuesday at Montevallo Pres- 
byterian Church for its spring 
conference, with pastors and eld- 
ers from the constituent churches 
in attendance. The Reverend T. F. 
Wallace of the Montevallo church 
and Elder W. J. Kennedy, repre- 
senting the Montevallo congrega- 
tion, welcomed the gathering. 

The Reverend Peter G. Cosby III 
of the Shades Valley Church was 
elected moderator and the Rever- 
end R. D. Earnest of the North 
Highlands Church was made Tem- 
pory Clerk to assist the Stated 
Clerk, the Reverend Archie C. 
Smith. 

As a part of the report on Chris- 
tian Education, four applicants for 
Candidates for the Ministry were 
presented. These were Ridgely Lee 
Hall, of the Third Presbyterian 
Church, and three young men from 
the Seventy-Six Street Church : 
Louis O'Conor, Jr., Carleton Evans, 
and Charles Barnett. 

The Presbytery enrolled these 
men after hearing reports on their 
motives for seeking the ministry 
and their plans for future training. 
Mr. Hall, a recently returned pris 
oner of war from the Philippines, 
will study at Columbia Seminary 
beginning next term. The other 
candidates, who are now students 
of Woodlawn High School, will 
pursue college and seminary train- 
ing prior to entering upon their 
work in the Foreign Missions field. 

The Reverend Harry H. Bryan 
reported on the campaign to raise 
$78,000.00 within the bounds of the 
Presbytery as a part of the two 
million dollar drive of the South- 
western Presbyterian College in 
Memphis. He stated that a little 
more than half of the assigned 
amount had been secured and that 
churches were planning drives to 
complete their qaotas by June IS. 
In the church at large more than 
seventy-five per cent of the amount 
needed has been secured. 

Financial reports of the church- 
es, as presented in the Sessions 
Records examined by the Reverend 
David Park and his committee, 
showed a substantial increase in 
total gifts to the church during 
the past year.

ama Coaches has moved 
eek into the new bus station. 
refiHtly built on the corner of 
Main and North Boundary Streets. 

The new structure is an expansive 
plant that provides adequate and 
convenient facilities for the opera- 
tions of the company and at the 
same time provides accommoda- 
tions greatly needed by the com- 
munity of Montevallo and the pub- 
lic generally. 

There is a large two-story build- 
ing on the corner which provides 
space for ticket offices, waiting 
rooms and a cafe downstairs. The 
second floor will be occupied by 
business offices of the company 
and a large room for use as a place 
of assembly. This will be made 
available for the use of commun- 
ity groups for banquets and gath- 
erings, with dining service avail- 
able from the cafe below. 

Adjacent to the office building is 
a large open space of concrete 
surface where the buses come in 
and go out, loading and unloading 
passengers under a shed extending 
from the waiting rooms. 

On the opposite side of this space 
is the garage for upkeep and ser- 
vicing of the buses. 

All in all. this structure comprises 
a most worthwhile and needed ad- 
dition to the town of Montevallo. 

Mr. Wyman Brown, president 
and manager of Alabama Coaches, 
states that when the cfe is ready 
for business and all phases of the 
plant have been fully completed, 
he expects to hold a formal open- 
ing and invite the public to visit 
and inspect the new place.

THE RACE FOR STATE 
SENATOR 

The campaign for Senator from 
this district, composed of Autauga, 
Chilton and Shelby Counties, has 
developed into a spirited race be- 
tween G. C. Walker, of Clanton, 
and W. A. Gulledge, of Verbena. 
Both candidates are from Chilton 
County, since, according to the 
plan of rotation among the three 
counties, this is the time for Chil- 
ton to furnish the State Senator. 

The candidates are good, able, 
and deserving men. Either of them 
will be a safe and sound represen- 
tative of the people of the district 
in the Senate. The only reason 
there is a contest between them is 
the fact that there can be no politi- 
cal thing done in Chilton County 
without a contest. That is a Chilton 
County tradition. 

A choice between Walker and 
Gulledge is merely a choice between 
two strongly opposing factions of 
the Democratic party in Chilton 
County, the differences of which 



do not extend beyond local county 
affairs. 

So far as a State Senator is con- 
cerned, each of the two men will 
add up to about the same thing, 
when weighed in the light of ab- 
ility and the manner in which they 
will perform the duties of repre- 
senting the district in the Senate. 

There you are, ladies and gentle- 
men, according to our estimation 
of two good men, each of whom we 
have known intimately for a long 
time, and whom we are still glad to 
acknowledge a s close personal 
friends. You have seen each of 
them, no doubt, and are able to 
choose between them. 



McGRAW CANDIDATE FOR 
PROBATE JUDGE IN BIBB 

C. C. McGraw, of Marvel, was a 
visitor in Montevallo one day this 
week. Mr. McGraw has been 
County Commissioner of Bibb 
County for eight years, holding the 
office that was occupied by George 
Ellis for twelve years. 

Mr. McGraw is now a candidate 
for Probate Judge of Bibb County. 
He has many friends in this part of 
Shelby County who wish him suc- 
cess. He is a good man, has made a 
good commissioner, and will make 
a good Probate Judge. Wish we 
could vote for him. 



Mrs. G. T. Elliott has moved her 
grocery store into the new brick 
building recently built alongside the 
old one. While the new building is 
not fully completed in every detail, 
it is suitable for temporary use, 
and will be finished as soon as a 
few scarce materials are available. 



To The Voters of Autauga, 
Chilton and Shelby: 




G. C. WALKER 

I have a desire to represent the people of Autauga, 
Chilton and Shelby Counties in the State Senate duiing 
the next administration. I represent the people of Chilton 
County in the Legislature at the present time. 

Under a long-standing agreement between the three 
counties, it is Chilton's time to furnish a Senator. I feel 
that by education, observation, and experience, I am 
capable to vote for and support legislation that will be 
to the best interests of all the people of the three coun- 
ties. 

I volunteered for service in World War I, and was 
discharged at Camp Pike, Arkansas. I am a member of 
the American Legion, Post No. 6, at Clanton. My only 
child, a son, volunteered for service in World War II, 
and, after almost one year's service, was discharged at 
San Diego, California, on the 14th of September, 1945. 

I will appreciate your vote and support in the Dem- 
ocratic Primary on May 7, 1946. 

Respectfully, 

G. C. WALKER 
(Paid political adv. by G. C. Walker, Clanton, Ala.) 



H. A. MILNER 

The Times has received a card 
from Mr. H. A. Milner, traveling 
salesman for Graham Paper Co., 
saying that the doctor has ordered 
him to stay in for a while to re- 
gain his normal health and vigor. 

"Please put this in the paper," 
he said, "so if any of my customers 
happen to miss me they will know 
why I have not come around as 
usual." 

And many there are who will 
miss him. Mr. Milner has been 
"beating the bushes" for Graham 
for a long time and he has many 
friends who wish him a hasty re- 
turn to his normal good health. 



Postmaster R. A. Reid attended 
the funeral of his brother, W. C. 
Reid, Tuesday in Fairhope. Mr. 
Reid died of a heart attack in 
Montgomery Sunday night. He was

in Montevallo.

Calera Civitan Club 
Holds Meeting 

Calera Civitan Club met April 
23 in the school lunch room in 
banquet, for a social and inspira- 
tional meeting, with the ladies 
present. The dinner served by the 
Baptist ladies was enjoyed by all. 

Honor guests were Courtney W. 
Shropshire, founder of Civitan In- 
ternational; Mrs. Shropshire; John 
Hargrave, District Governor of 
Civitan International. 

The chief speaker of the even- 
ing was Judge Geo. Lewis Bailes 
of Birmingham, who spoke on the 
subject "What Is a True Civitan?" 
He gave a historical background 
of this area, showing what a won- 
derful industrial area, as well as a 
very excellent district for agricul- 
ture it is. He also mentioned the 
highways and railroads that we 
have access to. He showed that we 
were geographically situated in 
such a way that if we practiced 
the principles as set out by Civitan 
International, there would be no 
reason why we should not have a 
well developed industrial town, a 
good group of citizens who will 
live the golden rule so well that 
everybody in our area would be 
Christian as well as happy, pros- 
perous people. 



Our master of ceremonies, Rev. 
J. J. Webb, kept us happy and jo- 
vial. 

Fred Allen, chairman of the 
youth committee, gave a report of 
the program planned by his group- 
There will be a Camporce of the 
Boy Scouts for Montevallo District 
at Calera High School May 10 and 
11. On Monday evening, May 13, 
in Calera High School Auditorium, 
there will be an open meeting with 
Mr. Christopher, Executive of Boy 
Scouts for the Black Warrior 
Council, as chief speaker. He will 
show some films which will display 
some of the good work of the Boy 
Scouts. We insist that every moth- 
er and father in our area be present 
and help this committee formulate a 
program that will make it possible 
for everybody in our area to have 
some form of recreation that will 
help our young people to be guided 
into the high ideals of good citi- 
zenship. 



Mr. T. J. Farlow, of the Monte- 
vallo Times staff, made a business 
trip to Birmingham Wednesday.

$9,000,000 Handout 

In State Tax Savings 
To 52 Large Corporations 

Hidden In Poole's Program 



• Mr. Poole's program calls for use of income tax monies to reduce 
property taxes and provides not one cent for increased teachers' 
salaries, or broader public health and welfare services. 

• Under Poole's program, 52 of Alabama's largest corporations, in- 
cluding many foreign corporations, would save over $9,000,000.00 
in state taxes during the next four years. 

• No wonder the Big Mules have raised the largest campaign fund 
for Poole in the political history of Alabama — reported to be over 
a quarter of a million dollars. 

• No wonder Poole is trying to cover up his Big Mule support by 
claiming to be the "people's candidate." 

• No wonder the Republican members of the Associated Industries 
and the National Association of Manufacturers are continuing to 
pour money into Poole's campaign, in an effort to put their hand- 
picked candidate in the running. 

• The people of Alabama will not be fooled by this undercover 
clique. 

• SUPPORTING HANDY ELLIS: Educators, small farmers, public 
welfare agencies, backers of the Merit System, working men and women, 
members of the House and Senate who served with him, liberal leaders 
of business and industry who want only fair treatment, and everyday 
folks who want four years of clean, liberal, progressive government.

Uncle Sam Says 




This fool's cap fits none of my 
nephews, least of all you, who 
learned during the war that the easy 
way to save part of your pay was 
to sign up on the payroll savings 
plan. I am visiting in Philadelphia 
today. Philadelphia is the home of 
the Liberty Bell and Benjamin 
Franklin, who said a penny saved 
is a penny earned. If Franklin were 
alive, he would revise this state- 
ment to $3 saved in U. S. Savings 
Bonds are $4 in your pockets ten 
years hence. Franklin would agree 
with me that this fool's cap fits only 
those persons who think because the 
war is over it is no longer profitable 
for them to save by buying; Bonds.

The Following Letter Was Received by 
Congressman Pete Jarman 

Greensboro, Alabama 
March 27, 1946 

Honorable Pete Jarman 
House of Representatives 
Washington, D. C. 

My dear Mr. Congressman: 

I have followed your actions all along and I am proud to 
tell you that you surely have been tried in the "firey furnace" 
the past few years when the fate of civilization rested on our 
able Congress. It is such men as you that have guided the des- 
tiny of the world to a successful conclusion. I think we are fac-i 
jng almost as critical a situation now as winning the war, the 
reconversion period. We need men in Congress that know and 
that have had experience. 

May I assure you that you have my whole hearted support 
and all that I can say or do for you in the coming primary. I 
can sincerely tell you that I have not let any opportunity slip 
to say or do something in your behalf. So far as I can see you 
stand head and shoulders over your opponent here and I be- 
lieve your friends will see you through safely. Please bear in 
mind I am ready, willing, and am doing everything I can in 
your behalf, also my sons are. 

So far us I can see your opponent has not stirred up any 
following here, where he was raised. I will be on guard at all 
times should anything come up that will be detrimental to 
you. I will do my best to stop it and v/rite you. 

With sincere best wishes. 

Sincerely yours, 

Q. L. STEWART

A. E. Bud NORWOOD 

CANDIDATE FOR 

SHERIFF of SHELBY COUNTY 

Subject to the Action of the Primary, May 7, 1946 
CALERA, ALABAMA 

To The Veterans of Shelby County: 

I am a candidate for the office of sheriff of Shelby County, 
and I want to take this opportunity 1 to ask you for your vote and 
influence in the coming primary. I would like to see each one of 
you personally, if possible, and discuss the problems confronting 
you as you return to civilian life. It will give me great pleasure in 
helping you any way that I can. 

I know what you have gone through as I served in World 
War One in England, France and Germany in the 316th Field 
Artillery. That makes it much easier for me to understand your 
problems. 

I have always helped the under-privileged and older people in 
this County and expect to continue this regardless of this race. I 
live in Calera and people are best known where they live, so I ask 
you to talk to some of the people of Calera for any information about 
me. I have been Commander of my American Legion Post here in 
Calera, also a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. 

I promise to see that the laws will be enforced for all the 
people of Shelby County, if I am elected. 

Again asking you for your vote and influence and hoping to meet 
each of you personally. 

YOUR VOTE AND INFLUENCE WILL BE APPRECIATED

Charlie Hughes Sends Message to 
Friends and Voters 

To My Friends and Voters of Shelby County: 

During the past few weeks, it has been my pleasure to 
travel over Shelby County in the interest of my candidacy for 
President of the Shelby County Board of Revenue. I have seen 
hundreds of old friends and feel that I have made many new 
ones. However, it will be physically impossible for me to see 
each individual voter before the Primary Election on May 7. 
and I am taking this medium to express my appreciation for 
Ithe kind consideration you have given me and the personal in- 
terest you have shown in my ambition to serve my native coun- 
ty in this responsible official position. 

I pledge to all citizens in Shelby County, if I receive the 
nomination for President of the Shelby County Board of 
Revenue, to devote my personal efforts and my entire time to 
'the duties involved, and I will, at all times, work cooperatively 
with the County Engineer and co-members of the Revenue 
Board, in an endeavor to build and maintain the best network 
of roads ever known in this, section ofr Alabama. I further 
pledge full value to the tax payers for every dollar expended. 

I feel by my past experience with the State and County in 
Road Construction and Maintenance that I am fully qualified 
for this official position. I desire to see Shelby County take 
her rightful place in the forward march of progress now go- 
ing on in Alabama, and I respectfully request your continued 
interest, valuable support, influence and vote which will assure 
my nomination on May 7, 1946. If given this chance for ser- 
vice, in my native county, I shall strive at all times to fully 
justify the confidence you have placed in me. 

Again assuring you of my appreciation for the many 
courtesies you have so generously shown me "on my rounds" — 
and for your gratifying predictions on my race, I beg to remain, 




Yours gratefully, 

CHARLIE HUGHES

Telephone folks make up 
a big family — a total of 
more than 36,000 people. 
They are the largest 
group employed by any 
single company in the 
nine southeastern states we serve. 

Add in Mom, Dad, Susie and Joe, and close kin 
— and the number quickly grows into a large por- 
tion of the population interested, directly or in- 
directly, in supplying you with the kind of tele- 
phone service you want. 

They are your friends and neighbors — the kind 
of people you like to meet, to know, to visit with. 
They are keenly alert to civic movements . . . 
eagerly participate in community activities. 

With their earnings and purchases, they are an 
important factor in local prosperity. And you'll 
find them everywhere — for the Telephone Com- 
pany is a local business, multiplied by all the many 
localities where we serve, and operated by home- 
town folks like you. 

We're proud of the telephone family. You can

lem " of scholarships. Miss Dawn 
S. Kennedy, Staff Council chair- 
man, presided at the conference. 

Dr. Minnie L. Steckel discussed 
the subject of student employment 
and Dr. Hallic Farmer presented a 
study of gift scholarships. Presi- 
dent A. F. Harman led discussions 
on the effect of the present era of 
prosperity on scholarships,, which 
made necessary the new policy to 
meet changing times. 

The point was made that in this 
period of prosperity there was less 



need for loans and for student em- 
ployment than there had been in 
the past. The suggestion was made 
that perhaps the time had come to 
transform loans into -gift scholar- 
ships and that grants should be 
based upon ability rather than upon 
need. The increasing importance of 
leadership among women was 
stressed. It was suggested further 
that service to the state would be 
adequate repayment from students 
gifted with capacity for leader- 
ship and that funds should be kept 
flexible in order to provide for any 
change in economic conditions. 

The problem of selection of can- 
didates received consideration. It 
was felt that there should be more 
adequate testing and that student 
clinics for high school seniors 
might be helfful. 

The women present were request- 
ed to return to their organizations 
and to work on further plans for 
use of scholarship funds. 



Local Students Adopt 
French School Girls 

Dr. Lorraine Pierson, head of 
the French department, announces 
that students of the French classes 
have adopted 75 French girls of the 
Ecole Primaire filles at Ancy-Sur- 
Moselle. 

Ancy-Sur-Moselle is in Lorraine 
eight miles from Metz and within 
a few hundred yards of Ft. Draint 
and Ft. Blaise, two famous German 
strongholds during the war. The 
community fell into German hands 
in June, 1940, and all school child- 
len who did not speak German 
were exiled from September, 1940, 
until May, 1945. Practically the en- 
tire village was destroyed. Every 
family was broken due to death, 
imprisonment, or exile. 

Each member of the French 
classes has adopted one of the 
children to whom she will give 
personal attention. The Directorice 
of Ecole Primaire filles has pro- 
vided considerable information on 
girls at' the school, and students 
here have been able to establish 
direct correspondence with their 
adopted children. These students 
will send clothes and food for the 
needy school children, and supplies 
lor the school. 

Paule Loisillier, exchange student 
on the campus who worked with 
French refugees throughout the 
war, will lend valuable assistance to 
these girls in their effort to help 
with the reconstruction of France. 

Caroline Barfield, Birmingham, 
president of the student govern- 
ment, has chosen little Carre 
Detiise, 10 year's " of age, as her 
special charge. Miriam and Vivian 
Parsons, twins from Selma, had no 
difficulty in making their choice as 
they adopted 7-year-old twins, 
Daniele and Elaine Cabary. Mar- 
tha Ann Martin, Birmingham, has 
adopted sisters, Collete and Georg- 
ette Collignon, who are orphans. 

Montevallo students participat- 
ing in the program are Zenoba 
McCulley and Katherine Bridges. 
Other boy.s and girls 'in Monte- 
vallo who have joined In sponsor- 
ing the school are Jane Black, 
Marcia Trumbauer, Joanna Sharp, 
Joy Holcomb, Rita Day, Sue Hen- 
ning. Carey Stabler, Jr., Don 
Douglas, Carlisle Towery, Teddy 
Ziolkovvski,. Laurie Orr, Martha 
Balch, Peggy Williams, Betty Wil- 
liams, Susan Sharp, and Sara Nell 
Barton.

WORKING FOR WALKER 

A group of prominent citizens 
and business men of Chilton Coun- 
ty were in Montevallo Monday 
working in support of Mr. G. C. 
Walker for the State Senate. 

Headed by former Mayor C. Fenn 
Jones, of Clanton, the group was 
composed to H. T. Pipes, Johnnie 
Johnson, and W. J. Moates. 

These gentlemen evidence the 
strong support Mr. Walker is re- 
ceiving from the people of his 
home county. They spent Monday 
visiting many places through Shel- 
by County. 



EXTENSIVE HOME REPAIRS 
TO BE MADE IN COUNTY 

Expenditures totaling more than 
$773,000 will be made in the next 
few years by, home owners on 
farms and in small communities of 
Shelby County to improve present 
electric service and home plumb- 
ing. • 

These outlays will mean addi- 
tional income to practically every 
local business and will finance ad- 
ditional wiring, bathroom improve- 
ments and new electrical equipment 
for the county's 2, 930 farm and 
rural homes already served with 
electricity, according to a study 
released by the Tile Council of 
America. 

Introduction of running water, 
installation o f tiled bathrooms and 
replacement of out-moded plumb- 
ing fixtures head the list of most 
wanted farm home features, D. P. 
Forst, chairman of the council's 
residential construction committee, 
revealed. One in five families 
throughout the nation plan bath- 
room improvements, he said. 

Additional wiring is needed in 
practically every farm home with 
electricity, according to the study. 
A huge market likewise exists for 
milking machines, quick freezing 
units, electric motors, baby chick 
brooders and other equipment. 



T. A. BRADLEY 

Mr. T. A. Bradley of Underwood 
passed away Thursday, April 25, at 
his residence. He is survived by his 
widow ; one son, Earl Bradley of 
Birmingham; three daughters, Mrs. 
Grover Green of Columbiana, Mrs. 
Floyd Harris of Marvel ; and Miss 
Lorene Bradley of Underwood ; two 
brothers, Charlie and Ollie Bradley 
of Brown's Station ; two sisters ; 
and a number of other relatives. 

Funeral services were held at 
Underwood Baptist Church Sun- 
day, April 28, at 11 a.m. with Rev. 
Sam Hall and Rev. Enzer of Bir- 
mingham officiating. Pallbearers 
were Clay Lucas, J. D. Hughes,

ton Hughes, Floyd Vernon. Inter- 
ment was in Ryans Cemetery, Lu-

ary society, tapped ten members 
from the Junior Class at the Jun- 
ior-Senior Banquet, Wednesday

To The Voters of Autauga, 
Chilton and Shelby: 




G. C. WALKER 

I have a desire to represent the people of Autauga, 
Chilton and Shelby Counties in the State Senate during 
the next administration. I represent the people of Chilton 
County in the Legislature at the present time. 

Under a long-standing agreement between the three 
counties, it is Chilton's time to furnish a Senator. I feel 
that by education, observation, and experience, I am 
capable to vote for and support legislation that will be 
to the best interests of all the people of the three coun- 
ties. 

I volunteered for service in World War I, and was 
discharged at Camp Pike, Arkansas. I am a member of 
the American Legion, Post No. 6, at Clanton. My only 
child, a son, volunteered for service in World War II, 
and, after almost one year's service, was discharged at 
San Diego, California, on the 14th of September, 1945. 

I will apprecir/e your vote and support in the Dem- 
ocratic Primary on May 7, 1946. 

Respectfully, 

G. C. WALKER

feel should qualify him for this office. 

1st. He is fifty-two years old. Born and reared in Shelby 
County. 

2nd. Graduate of Vincent High School, 1909: Attended 
college one year. 

3rd. Engaged in mercantile business with his father, as 
McGraw Bros, for thirty years. 

4th. Member town council eight years. Elected mayor in 
1944. • 

5th. Served three terms as member Board of Revenue from 
District Four. 

6th. Member Democratic Executive Committee, Beat 
Sixteen, twenty-six years. 

If elected, we assure you that you will always find him 
With an open mind, fair and impartial, cooperative and prog- 
ressive. We will appreciate your support of his candidacy based, 
on the above facts. 

(Paid political adv. by Friends of Solon E. McGraw.) 



To the Voters of Shelby County: 
Do You Know These FACTS? 



1. The present Supt. of Education of Shelby County, P. B. Shaw, 



spent $892.80 school money last school year, 1944-45, for travel when 
the law says he can spend only $600.00. 

2. The present Supt. of Education of Shelby County, P. B. Shaw, 
spent $700.85 school money for travel during the school year 1943-44 when 
the law says he can spend only $600.00. 

3. The present Supt. of Education of Shelby County, P. B. Shaw, 
spent $393.65 of the people's money on his own car in violation of the law. 

4. The bus drivers of Shelby County did not get a raise in salary 
along with the teachers. The bus drivers of other counties got theirs. 

5. The school teachers of Shelby County did not get the 25 per cent 
raise in salary last year as provided by the State. Ask Mr. Shaw why. 

6. Mr. Voter, did you know your present Supt. of Education of 
Shelby County, P. B. Shaw, put your county in debt $59,862.10 which is 
a violation of the law? 

7. Mr. Voter, get these facts : The report of Examiners of Accounts 
for the State of Alabama, D. S. Brennen and E. M. Ivy to the Governor, 
Hon. Chauncey Sparks, on November 5th, 1945 is (we quote) "Our audit 
also discloses that the State Department of Education furnished the 
Superintendent with sample forms for requisition, purchase order and 
for an accounts payable ledger, all such forms to be used as part of the 
Uniform Accounting for this office. Our audit discloses that a supply of 
these have not been ordered from the printer. No purchase orders or 
requisitions are being used and that no Accounts Payable Ledger has 
been opened as per instructions from the State Department of Education." 

Without a complete system of records how can Mr. Shaw keep the 
school finances straight? Do you wonder that he put the county in debt 
$59,862.10? 

A STATEMENT: 

To the Voters of Shelby County : 

We, the Citizens, Trustees, and Patrons of the Kennedy High School 
of Kennedy, Alabama, wish to lay before you some facts concerning our 
present high school principal, W. N. Baker. 

We understand Mr. Baker is seeking the office of County Superin- 
tendent of Education of Shelby County. We feel that Mr. Baker is well 
qualified to fill this office. We have found him to be thorough in his 
work, well qualified to carry on the work of an educator, an excellent 
administrator and a thorough Christian gentleman. His school, church 
and community have a large place in his life. Our only regret is that we 
are losing him as he is one of the best educators in Lamar County and 
*he State of Alabama. 

For your information, Kennedy High School is second to none in 
Lamar County. It has a vocational department, uses fifteen teachers and 
<ight other employees, has a complete canning plant and other depart- 
ments all of which are under the direct control of the principal. 

Our school has been functioning for nineteen years and we feel that 
Mr. Baker comes nearer filling the needs of this school than any prin- 
cipal we have had.

A Statement From Shelby County Superin- 
tendent, P. B. SHAW 

My friends tell me that an eleventh hour smear is to be made upon 
me through the papers and also by 5,000 circulars. I have no way of 
knowing that this will actually happen but I make the following state- 
ment which is taken from the records of this office. These records are 
open for your inspection. 

1. The former Superintendent of Education, J. L. Appleton drew up 
to $900.00 per year for travel expenses, I have never drawn that much in 
one year. 

2. All recommendations of the state examiners are being faithfully 
carried out. In their last report our books were in balance to the exact 
cent. 

3. All bills have been paid on time and not one cent of money has 
been borrowed since I have been in office. 

4. Beginning in 1937 I list the money borrowed by the Shelby Coun- 
ty Board of Education as shown by the minutes of the board. The board 
sets all_salaries and has absolute control of all finances. The dates and 
amounts are as follows : 

February 26, 1937 ! :$20,000.00 

March 26, 1937 ... 10,000.00 

July 16, 1937 10,000.00 

October 1, 1937 30,000.00 

January 21, 1938 20,000.00 

March 4, 1938 10,000.00 

August 9, 1938 5,000.00 

September 30, 1938 30,000.00 

February 24, 1939 15,000.00 

May 26, 1939 50,000.00 

September 29, 1939 52,500.00 

March 29, 1940 22,337.63 

June 21, 1940 4,000.00 

October 4, 1940 17,488.62 

March 3, 1941 10.000.00 

May 12, 1942 17,488.62 

August 28, 1942 12,488.62 

The two loans obtained in 1942 were paid during my first year in of- 
fice. These loans amounted to $29,977.24. We have also reduced the 
Board of Education's bonded indebtedness by approximately $120,000.00 
making a total of $149,99724 that has been paid on what the Shelby 
County Board of Education owed when I came into office. 

This, as stated above, has been done without even borrowing one cent. 
Deficits are shown by local bank loans on the lack of ability to pay bills 
when due. Neither of these things have happened since I have been in 
office. 

5. Eight $1,000.00 War Bonds were bought in 1943 and designated for 
the building of a school at Dogwood. These bonds are drawing interest 
and will be used for the above purpose as soon as building materials are 
available. 

6. I have advocated a raise in bus drivers' salaries and will recom- 
mend again to the board that the bus drivers' salaries be raised to the 
point that men can be secured to drive school buses. The Board of Edu- 
cation sets the salaries of bus drivers. 

7. 1 also advocate improving the smaller schools and building lunch 
rooms where needed as soon as funds are available. 

8. All money appropriated for teachers' salaries has been paid to the 
teachers. Not one dollar has ever gone back to the state. 

9. Soon after I entered office the Board of Education asked me to 
turn over the transportation department to the Transportation Super- 
visor. This arrangement continued until the summer of 1944 when a new 
transportation supervisor took over only fifteen (15) days before school 
opened. In the summer of 1945 we found the buses in very bad shape, 
and therefore worked them over as best we could with materials we 
could get. This cost from $150.00 to $350.00 per bus. This was accomplish- 
ed by savings in other departments. All bills were paid on time, no money 
borrowed and no debts carried over. 

From the time the buses went in service until the summer of 1945 
the budget was never adequate nor was material available to put school 
buses in shape for the summer. During the year 1944-45 we worked over 
all buses for which we could get materials and also bought two new 
bodies. This cost us a little more than $300.00 per bus but all bills were 
paid and no money borrowed. •

MONTEVALLO, ALABAMA 



The Following Letter Was Received by 
Edward de Graffenried : 

OZMUS S. BURKE 
Attorney At Law 

Greensboro, Ala., April 26, 1946 

Hon. Edward de Graffenried 
Attorney at Law 
Tuscaloosa, Ala. 
Dear Ed: 

I haven't seen you during the past few days, so I thought I 
would drop you a line to let you know how things are looking 
here. When you were here last I told you that you would take 
the county. I feel even more optimistic now, for the race seems 
to be heating up some, and people are expressing their opinions 
more freely. You are growing by leaps and bounds and your 
majority in Hale County is gong to be even greater than we 
expected. 

There is one thing you can be proud of and that is the fact 
that the service men are really working for you. They are "fed 
up with the set-up", as the Army saying goes, and they want a 
change. The fact that you served as a private in World War I, 
and had three boys in the service in World War II, is certainly 
advantageous, for the boys feel that you know better what their 
problems are and will work to see that they aren't forgotten. 

We aren't going to let up here and you can count on all of us 
to do whatever is necessary to provide the margin of victory 
that we all have worked to gain. Keep up the good work. 

With best wishes, I am 

Your friend, 

O. S. BURKE

■pHK 



Who is 

John A.Kent *• 

and WHY should he be 
elected to the Shelby 
County Board 
of Education? 



John' A. Kent is a friend of the peopTe™or™Shelby County and a 
friend, to the schools of Shelby County. Ybu probably know him as the 
friendly, courteous young man that you meet each day in several Shelby 
County communities that he must visit in the business of operating a 
dairy. Possibly you know him best as a member of your church or civic 
organization, or in connection with some of our youth organizations of 
which he has served as a leader for a number of years. You may remem- 
ber him as a star athlete in school sporting events of a few years back. 
Those of us who know John A. Kent agree that he is 




Young and Aggressive 



We feel that this is desirable. He is young enough for new ideals, an 
alert mind and a friendly personality. These traits have made him a suc- 
cessful business man and should be a timely addition to the Shelby Coun- 
ty Board of Education. He will be an inspiration to this group as they 
will be to him. Yet he is old enough to understand the school needs and 
the ideals of the fellow Board members. He will, we feel sure, serve 
well with the present Board. 

Honest 

We who do business with John A. Kent, know him for the honesty 
and fairness that he represents. 



Dependable 



The dairy business, must of necessity, be dependable. We have al- 
ways taken his business and civic dependability for granted and have 
not been found wanting. 



Experienced 



While he does not have experience as a member of the Shelby Coun- 
ty Board of Education, he has served on numerous civic committees 
and his aggressiveness in this work has given him the experience of 
working in harmony with older men. These committees find his ideals 
and manner refreshing and stimulating to such a point that all quotas 
for our community have always been reached. While we know John A. 
Kent does not claim credit for these achievements, we do know that he 
has contributed his time and effort to these ends. 

Interested in Education 

He knows the needs of education in Shelby County and the State of 
Alabama. He has made himself acquainted with their problems because 
of his interest in our local County Schools. Our local teachers know him 
for his interest in their problems and the welfare of the school children. 

Business Man 

A successful business man who knows how to handle business prob- 
lems in a business way. 

Civic Activities 

An energetic worker in all civic activities, a church member, affil- 
iated with numerous fraternal and civic organizations. 

Mr. Kent has one son, has lived in Shelby County most of his life 
and is a graduate of Thompson High School.

STATEMENT BY FRANK LYON 

My Friends: 

Many citizens of Shelby County are erroneously associating 
my name with the "Tax Adjustment Board." Please know that 
I HAVE NO CONNECTION WHATSOEVER with this 
board. My duties are directly concerned with the County Treas- 
urer's office. I do not now nor have I ever had anything to do 
with "Raising Taxes." 

J. M. LYON is chairman of the Tax Adjustment Board and 
has been for several years. His duties and those related to the 
treasurer's office have no connection whatsoever.

By Their Records 
Shall Ye Judge Them 



On May 7, 1946, there will be placed before the 
electorate of Shelby, Clay and Coosa Counties, two 
candidates for the highly responsible position of 
Judge of the 18th Judicial Circuit, Judge W. W. Wal- 
lace, incumbent, of Shelby County ; E. P. Gay of 
Clay County, who served for one term after defeating 
the late Judge E. S. Lyman of Montevallo in 1928. 
In 1934, six years later, Judge W. W. Wallace de- 
feated E. P. Gay, and soon alter this defeat Mr. Gay 
moved to Florida with his family and engaged in 
commercial adventures other than the practice of law. 
In 1940 the same Mr. Gay returned to Alabama and 
attempted again to defeat Judge Wallace. The Su- 
preme Court of Alabama held that Mr. Gay was a 
resident of Florida, and he was, of course disqualified 
from the race. 

About two years ago, Mr. Gay made a return trip 
to Clay County and engaged in the TRUCKING busi- 
ness. According, to reports from Clay County this 
commercial adventure was not successful but he did 
succeed by residing in the State for two years in re- 
establishing his citizenship in Alabama, even though 
his family still resides in Florida. Now, there is an- 
other election on and we find Mr. Gay again oppos- 
ing Judge Wallace for the official honor of serving 
the 18th Judicial Circuit. 

The best recommendation a public official has when 
placing his candidacy before the electorate is found 
in the official record of services he has made during 
his tenure of office. Therefore, as Judge Wallace has, 
according to official records, efficiently, competently 
and satisfactorily served this Circuit for the past 
eleven years, we are sure his record on the bench is 
well known to the electorate of all three counties. 

Judge Wallace, immediately after graduation from 
the University of Alabama, began the practice of his 
chosen profession and successfully followed the prac- 
tice of law until he was promoted to the Judgeship. 
He has not deviated from the study of the law to en- 
gage in any other vocation. He has devoted his en- 
tire time to the legal profession, thereby better quali- 
fying him by education and experience to perform 
the duties the Circuit Judgeship carries. 

Let's look at the Court Record of his opponent— 
E. P. Gay, in the three counties in which he served 
for one term.

the above is a correct statement of court costs in the 
above styled cases, and that the costs were taxed 
against E. P. Gay (except one case, No. 66-A), which 
costs remain unpaid to this date, according to the rec- 
ords in this office. 

This April 26, 1946. 

S. Y. Moon, 

Clerk and Register of the Circuit 
Court of Clay County, Alabama. 

The above record was taken from the Circuit 
Clerk and Register's official records in Clay County 
and we have a signed affidavit that it is a true and 
correct statement of court costs in the above styled 
cases and that they remain unpaid to this date. They 
total $525.20 less one case (No. 66A which is Clay 
Trading Company vs. Universal Credit Company — 
$61.35) which was paid. 

The Clay County Trading Company is a corpora- 
tion of which E. P. Gay is the directing head. Can 
the good citizens of Clay County afford to endorse 
a candidate for Circuit Judge who has been involved 
in more dissention and litigation with his neighbors 
and associates than any one individual in this Circuit 
or in any other circuit in any State in the Union? 

E. P. Gay states on his card that he stands for 
"cleaning of the docket". If every citizen in this Cir- 
cuit should follow the leadership and example of 
this gentleman it would be necessary to employ 50 
Judges to try the law suits pending on the trial dock- 
ets of this Circuit.

L. G. Fulton, . 
Clerk of the Circuit Court 
Shelby County, Alabama 



We are confident that the voters of Clay, Coosa 
and Shelby Counties do not endorse, nor will they 
support a "litigating judge" but will, on May 7, 1946, 
place their seal of approval on a man who has not 
been involved in personal litigation and cast their 
vote for W. W. Wallace for Judge of the 18th Judi- 
cial Circuit.

Charlie Hughes Sends Message to 
Friends and Voters 

To My Friends and Voters of Shelby County: 

During the past few weeks, it has been my pleasure to 
travel over Shelby County in the interest of my candidacy for 
President of the Shelby County Board of Revenue. I have seen 
hundreds of old friends and feel that I have made many new 
ones. However, it will be physically impossible for me to see 
each individual voter before the Primary Election on May 7. 
and I am taking this medium to express my appreciation for 
the kind consideration you have given me and the personal in- 
terest you have shown in my ambition to serve my native coun- 
ty in this responsible official position. 

I pledge to all citizens in Shelby County, if I receive the 
nomination for President of the Shelby County Board of 
Revenue, to devote my personal efforts and my entire time to 
the duties involved, and I will, at all times, work cooperatively 
with the County Engineer and co-members of the Revenue 
Board, in an endeavor to build and maintain the best network 
of roads ever known in this, section of Alabama. I further 
pledge full value to the tax payers for every dollar expended. 

I feel by my past experience with the State and County in 
Road Construction and Maintenance that I am fully qualified 
for this official position. I desire to see Shelby County take 
her rightful place in the forward march of progress now go- 
ing on in Alabama, and I respectfully request your continued 
interest, valuable support, influence and vote which will assure 
my nomination on May 7, 1946. If given this chance for ser- 
justify the confidence you have placed in me. 
vice, in my native county, I shall strive at all times to fully 

Again assuring you of my appreciation for the many 
courtesies you have so generously shown me "on my rounds" — 
and for your gratifying predictions on my race, I beg to remain, 

Yours gratefully,

C. INZER 

for LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR 

and Progressive Government 



His record as a member of the State Board of Education 
for 10 years and as former Chairman of the Senate Com- 
mittee on Education testifies to his heartfelt interest in 
the welfare of schools. 

His service in the State Senate demonstrated his capacity 
for constructive leadership and his forward looking out- 
look on State affairs. 

His service in World War I has given him deep interest 
in the problems of veterans of World War II. 

His activities as Trustee for many charitable agencies 
reflect his sympathy for the underprivileged. 

His election as President of the Alabama Bar Association 
shows the high esteem in which he is held by his 
associates. 



Inzer is the kind of man who will raise the standards of State 
politics. His integrity and force are needed at Montgomery.

THE MONTEVALLO TIMES 



A MESSAGE FROM CLAUDE FORE TO 
THE PEOPLE OF SHELBY COUNTY: 




I have tried to see each one of you in person and ask you to 
vote for me in the Primary Election May 7. Since that was not 
possible, I am writing this letter to say that I will greatly appre- 
ciate your support. 

I would like to review for you briefly my record since I came 
to Shelby County in 1924. I served for two years as deputy sher- 
iff at Boothton. In 1926 I was appointed to serve as Town 
Marshal and City Clerk of Montevallo, and continued in that 
office until 1934, when I resigned to become a candidate for 
Sheriff. I was elected Sheriff in 1934, and served the full four- 
year term 1935 to 1939- In 1941 I was appointed Chief Deputy 
Sheriff and served two years. 

In April 1943 I volunteered for service in the U. S. Navy and 
was honorably discharged January, 1946. I am a member of the 
Shirley-Holloway Post No. 131 of the American Legion. 

The record shows that as Sheriff I made more arrests for 
EVERY violation of the laws than any other Sheriff Shelby 
County ever had. During my term I was frequently commanded 
by the officials of our courts for the efficient manner in which 
my office was conducted. 

I feel that because of my experience in the work of law en- 
forcement I am better qualified than ever before to make you 
a good Sheriff. I pledge to all the people that if I am elected 
to the office of Sheriff I will do my full duty without fear or 
favor. 

I shall appreciate your vote. I shall be grateful if you will 
s*y a good word to your neighbor in my behalf. 

Sincerely yours, 

CLAUDE H. FORE

Attention, Shelby Countians 

As the political race is nearing the goal in its first round 
of battle, there isn't much time left for us who are seeking of- 
fice to get out and visit with you. During my candidacy for 
Treasurer of Shelby County, I have spoken with a great num- 
ber of you. Due to rhy present condition and the time element, 
It may be impossible for me to visit all of you. If I should fail 
(to see you between now and the set date, your vote and influ- 
ence will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanking you very much for your kind cooperation.

TO MY FRIENDS AND VOTERS 
OVER SHELBY COUNTY: 

The time for the primary election is drawing near and there 
are probably quite a few of you whom I have not been able to 
see in person, so I am taking this means and opportunity to ex- 
press my appreciation for all you have done for. me, and I ask 
for your continued support. 

If nominated and elected, I promise to continue to give you 
an honest and efficient administration of the duties of the office 
of Sheriff. I believe that my service in the past has better quali- 
fied me for these duties and this experience will enable me to 
serve you as your Sheriff in an able and progressive way. 

I am asking for the support of all the law-abiding and re- 
spectful citizens of Shelby County and I will appreciate to the 
fullest anything you can do for me.

W. W. Wallace Sends 
Message To Voters 

To the Voters of Shelby County: 

The time is drawing near when you will render your verdict 
on my record of service as your Circuit Judge. I am basing my 
request for your continued vote of confidence in me as I seek 
the nomination on May 7 on my official record made during 
the past eleven years in this highly responsible position. 

In January, 1935, when I first began t% serve you in the ca- 
pacity of Circuit Judge, Shelby County's witness script and of- 
ficers script was practically worthless, and the holder of such 
script could only register the same and hold it for a number of 
years for payment, or sell to a script dealer for around ten cents 
on the dollar. Four years ago with the joint effort of Probatei 
Judge L. C. Walker and myself the entire indebtedness due wit- 
nesses and officers was fully paid out of the fine and forfeiture 
fund. This same year the treasurer was able to pay into the 
general fund $2,000.00. The following year the treasurer paid 
into the general fund $2,500; and the last two years the treasu- 
rer paid $5,000 during each of said years into the general fund. 

In making the payments above mentioned the treasurer re- 
served in the fine and forfeiture fund the sum of $2,500.00 in: 
order that sufficient funds might be on hand to pay witness 
certificates as well as clerk and sheriff's certificates. moes dp 

In making the payments of officers script the estate of J. R. 
Dykes, former circuit clerk many years ago, was paid in ex- 
change for script held by said estate. Payments in full were al- 
so made to the estate of J. J. Falkner and to C. J. Falkner, 
Claude Fore, W. B. White, and L. T. Bozeman, and also to 
the late Knox E. Woolley, all sheriffs of Shelby County. The) 
total amounts of these payments ran into thousands of dollars 
which was due them. 

I am very proud of this record and know the same has not 
been approached since 1904 when I became familiar with the 
courts of Shelby County as a practicing attorney. 

Today state witness certificates, clerk, sheriff and justice of 
the peace certificates are promptly paid by the treasurer upon 
the termination of the case in which such script is issued. 

I also brought . to the attention of the grand jury the uncom- 
fortable quarters prepared for jurors. At this time comfortable 
beds, running water and other conveniences have been installed] 
for their bodily comfort when remaining overnight on jury duty. 

During the war while business was slack in the courts I held 
only one jury term each year and have made it a point to hold 
same during the months of July or August after the farmers 
had completed the cultivation of their crops. 

I have attempted at all times to uphold the dignity of the 
court and to operate the courts efficiently and promptly and in- 
terpret the law fairly and impartially to all alike. 

If, after considering the above ,f acts you believe my record 
fully justifies your continued support, influence and vote on 
May 7, 1946, I shall.be deeply grateful. 

Yours very truly, 

W. W. WALLACE

To the Voters and My Friends in 

Shelby County 1 

I take this opportunity to express to each of you my sin- 
cere gratitude for your loyalty and approval of my record as

solicit your on May 7, 1946— even though I have no opposition 
for this highly responsible position. 

I have, during the past few weeks, traveled over Shelby 
County in an honest endeavor to personally see and thank each 
of you for the confidence you have evidenced in me in my ef- 
fort to efficiently, promptly and courteously discharge the du- 
ties this official post requires. Some of you, I have failed to 
see — but to all of you I want to extend my thanks and express 
my deeg appreciation for again choosing me as your Probate 
Judge. 

I shall — at all times — earnestly and conscientiously at- 
tempt to merit your most gratifying support of my administra- 
tion. 

Sincerely yours,

CONCERT 

The joint concert of the College 
Orchestra and the High School 
Band which was announced for 
April 25 will be given Monday, 
May 13, at 8:00 p.m. in Palmer 
Hall. There will be no admission 
charge. 



The program committee of Mon- 
tevallo Rotary Club announces a 
program of more than ordinary in- 
terest for its meeting on Friday 
evening, May 17. The speaker for 
this program will be Brig. Gen. 
William E. Brougher, commandant 
at Fort McClellan, Anniston. 

Ordered to the Philippines in 
October, 1939, Gen. Brougher, then 
a lieutenant colonel, was assigned 
to the 57th Infantry Regiment, 
Philippine Scouts, at Fort McKin- 
ley, and commanded, that regiment 
until 1941, when he was assigned 
to command the 11th Division, 
Philippine Army, in north Luzon. 
It was this unit the Japanese first 
struck and continued to fight un- 
til the day of surrender of the 
American forces on Bataan. 

Gen. Brougher was taken prison- 
er with other prisoners first to 
Camp O'Donnell where 3,000 Amer- 
icans and 20,000 Filipinos died dur- 
ing the first two months of im- 
prisonment. Later the generals and 
colonels were separated from other 
prisoners and moved to Tarlac 
where they were joined by Gen. 
Wainwright and other army gen- 
erals and colonels and navy cap- 
tains from Corregidor. Later this 
group was transferred to Formosa 
where they were joined by groups 
of top-ranking British and Dutch 
prisoners. In October, 1944, antici- 
pating the approach of the Ameri- 
can forces, the Japs again moved 
them — this time to Manchuria. 

It is understood that the program 
committee, in view of the wide in- 
terest which will be felt in the 
coming of Gen. Brougher, will ar- 
range for his address to be deliv- 
ered in one of the college audi- 
toriums so as to make it possible 
for a large number of people to 
attend and hear him. 



* The race for member of the 
County Board of Revenue in the 
Second District will go into the 
second primary June 4th for a 
run-off between Lawson Ingram 
of Spring Creek and Fred Mc- 
Clendon of Maylene. 

The unofficial tabulation of votes 
for? the district showed the follow- 
ing vote received by the three 
candidates with one or two boxes 
not reported : 




Thirty-five seniors at Montevallo High School will receive their diplomas on May 23 at 10 o'clock 
in Palmer Auditorium. Theme of the program, International) Unity, will be dramatized in song and 
speech. Speakers will be Christine Butler, David Ward, and Mildred Wooten. The program will be- 
gin with a Universal Prayer sung by the class, and Billy Ingram will welcome parents and friends. The 
processional and recessional will be played by Mr. Victor T. Young on the organ, and Mr. W. E. Cal- 
houn, principal, will award the diplomas.

NOW FOR THE REAL 
SHOW-DOWN 

Now is the time for all people 
to stand up and be counted on the 
side of good government in Ala- 
bama and in support of Handy El- 
lis, the one candidate for Govern- 
or who is experienced, qualified 
and able to carry on such govern- 
ment in our state. 

Alabama's government in recent 
years has been deeply formative in 
fundamental policies that hava 
brought us up out of many uncer- 
tainties, much turmoil and con- 
fusion. We have seen the disap- 
pearance of many conflicting and 
unsound theories. We have happily 
come into a course of smooth sail- 
ing toward greater progress in all 
affairs of our state. 

It has required rugged states- 
manship to do this. Handy Ellis 
has had a major part in the guid- 
ance of our state government dur- 
ing those years. 'He is in the best 
position of any man in Alabama 
to continue to lead our govern- 
ment and build broader and high- 
er our state's affairs upon the solid 
foundations already made secure. 

On the other hand, we have Jim 
Foisom, his opponent, whose abil- 
ity as a statesman, if he has any, is 
certainly not known to anybody. 
He has had no experience what- 
ever in public office. 

If we take his scouring mop and 
suds bucket antics as the measure 
of his promise to the people of 
Alabama, we can conclude that 
the only certain result of his at- 
taining the office of Governor 
would be the destruction of the 
foundations that have been built 
by statesmen of the type of Handy 
Ellis, and hurling Alabama's gov- 
ernment back into an era of con 
fusion and groping to find un- 
charted ways to make his unknown 
theories work. 

Those who follow Foisom and 
his scouring mop, suds bucket 
campaign are not taking a serious 
view of the all-important question 
of Alabama's future government. 
They are not thinking deeply about 
the major principles at issue. They 
are following a superficial influ- 
ence that is carrying them and 
would carry the whole of Ala- 
bama's governmental system quick- 
ly back into an alarming welter of 
confusion. 

We do not believe the majority 
of the people of Alabama are so 
utterly unconcerned and oblivious 
about keeping and forwarding good 
government in the state. We con- 
fidently believe the tide of votes on 
June 4 will sustain Handy Ellis 
and the unquestioned ability, hon- 
esty, and integrity which are known 
to be his guiding motives in the 
administration and leadership of 
Alabama's people to better things 
in the next four years.

MORE LINES TO 

HANDLE 
MORE CALLS 



Ail over the South, tele- 
phone men are hard at work 
expanding facilities to handle 
a greater volume of long 
distance calls. 

More long distance calls 
now go through as you hold 
the wire. Service generally is 
getting better, but we've stilt 
a good way to go before we 
get back to the pre-war stand- 
ard of service. 




Once we catch up with 
that, we'll keep right on going 
and try to make the record 
even better.

To The Voters of The 
Second District 



I sincerely thank each and every one for the support 
you gave me in the primary last Tuesday. 

The result of the vote as unofficially announced in- 
dicates that no one of the three candidates received a 
majority, and therefore, a run-off will be necessary be- 
tween Mr. Ingram and myself on June 4. 

I wish to let you know that I will continue my cam- 
paign in the second primary. I still hold to the convic- 
tion that the people of the Second District can and should 
have better roads than we have had in past years. I be- 
lieve I can secure for our district the improved condi- 
tions which you deserve, and I will appreciate the con- 
tinued support of the voters to that end. 

Respectfully yours, 

Fred R* McClendon

College Notes 

On May S, the Alabama College 
Glee Club, directed by Miss Claire 
Ordway and accompanied by Miss 
Dorothy Jones, started its annual 
concert tour of Alabama to give 
concerts in Ashland, Gadsden, At- 
talla, Oxford, and Sylacauga. 

In Birmingham on Wednesday, 
the Glee Club participated in a 
choral festival of groups from all 
over the state. Here the Glee Club 
joined with other colleges in 
massed choruses of mixed voices, 
and massed choruses of women's

On the coordinating committee 
directing Crook Week, May 6-11, 
are Mildred Deason, America; Re- 
becca Plant, Tallassee ; and Eliza- 
beth Kelly, Birmingham. , 

During Crook Week, which ends 
Saturday, every senior at Alabama 
College is a "most honorable dig- 
nitary" to whom each junior pays 
great deference. Juniors are called 
"sub-freshmen," and subjected to 
scores of indignities, such as being 
aroused at daybreak to sweep the 
walks on the campus and kept up 
late at night to provide seniors 
with some original type of enter- 
tainment. 

Dottie Johnson, Marion, who 
found the crook last year, hid the 
20-year old sacred emblem of Crook 
Week Monday, and juniors were 
elevated to the rank of seniors 
when one of the class succeeded in 
locating it. At "crook court" the 
juniors became full-fledged seniors 
and the senior class rings, pins, 
caps, and gowns were presented to 
the juniors. Juniors found guilty 
of discourtesies to seniors during 
Crook Week were sentenced to 
various penalties. 

Presiding at crook court was 
Iris Kirkpatrick, Montevallo, pres- 
ident of the senior class.

Dr. George A. Douglas heads the 
committee to direct the Emergency 
Food Collection at the college. As- 
sisting Dr. Douglas are Dr. Bertie

Lowery, Montevallo. 

The drive begins with an assembly 
in Palmer Hall Tuesday, May 14.

Dr. Margaret McCall, head of 
the department of health, physical 
education, and recreation at Ala- 
bama College will direct a Work- 
shop in Outdoor Education at the 
University of Wyoming during the

•of August. The first half of the 
course will be conducted on the 
campus at Laramie and the second 
half at the University of Wyom- 
ing camp located in the Snowy 
Range of the Medicine Bow Na- 
tional Forest. The purpose of the 
workshop is to prepare partici- 
pants as specialists and adminis- 
trators of school and community 
recreation projects with emphasis 
•on the role of camping in public 
school education.

BEEF CATTLE SHOW 

Shelby Countians who visited the 
Birmingham Fat Stock Show dur- 
ing the past week saw for them- 
selves the excellent job some of 
our 4-H Club boys and girls are 
doing in producing good beef cat- 
tle. Twenty-two calves were ex- 
hibited and sold. Never before in 
the history of the state has there 
been such keen competition. Over 
800 calves from 21 counties in the 
state were exhibited and sold. 

H. C. Wooley of the Montevallo 
Club placed second in the light 
shorthorn class and Billy Cunning- 
ham, Montevallo, placed thirteenth 
in the medium weight Angus class. 
This class included 155 Angus and 
was a real honor to the boy having 
a calf placed within the first fif- 
teen. 

Tommy Johnson of the Monte- 
vallo Club won a calf offered each 
county champion by exhibiting the 
calf that was judged grand cham- 
pion of the County Show held at 
Calera on Monday, April 29. 

The animals sold for a very good 
price. Better finished animals sold 
from 29c to 34c a pound, while 
some calves not having the propei 
finish went to stocker prices. 

The following boys from Shelby 
County exhibited calves in the Bir- 
mingham show: Tommy Johnson, 
Margaret and Bobby Day, Billy 
Cunningham, Jimmy Graham, Tom- 
my and Bobby Baker, H. C. Wool- 
ey, Phillip Lacey, Homer Williams, 
Jr., Leroy Mitchell, Jim Mabry.

Home Demonstration Week 

During the week of May 5-lZ, 
Americans' attention is focused on 
three and one-half million home 
demonstration women. 

Americans realize that amid all 
the problems of war and readjust- 
ment, our greatest strength lies in 
our homes. 

The program is conducted joint- 
ly by the Department of Agricul- 
ture and 51 land grant colleges in 
48 states, Alaska, Hawaii, and 
Puerto Rico. 

Work in Alabama began with 
tomato canning demonstrations in 
1911. Since that time, it has ex- 
panded to include wide interest of 
rural and farm peopple. 

Home Demonstration work offers 
to the home maker the latest in- 
formation in planning a home, mak- 
ing it attractive, sewing, nutritious 
meals, making good looking clothes, 
budgeting time and money, sug- 
gesting ideas that help in rearing 



children, and ways in which the 
family can have a good time. 



Homemade American Cheese 

Mrs. H. A. Pauly's family, Eb- 
enezer Club, has enjoyed homemade 
American cheese for the past year. 

Mrs. Pauly says, "I started mak- 
ing American cheese following the 
demonstration given in my club. 
We had some surplus milk and en- 
joy the homemade cheese so much 
than any we have been able to buy 
in the past four years. I have made 
75 pounds of cheese for my fam- 
ily since October 1, 1944, and 10 
pounds for my neighbors. I did not 
make the cheese to - sell but was 
persuaded to sell 4 pounds. I want- 
ed to have enough over our own 
needs to send in Christmas boxes 
to New England. I am sure the 
cheese I have made is not over- 
valued at $40.40." 

* * * 

Homemade Handbags 

HomeDemonstration Club women 
in Shelby County are making 
purses for themselves and for 
members of their families and for 
sale. 

Miss Lois Alexander, Spring 
Creek Club, says, "I attended Miss 
Ellis' Leadership School on mak- 
ing purses. I have made the follow- 
ing purses : two from feed sacks, 
one from a piece of tweed material 
which matches a suit, one from a 
huck towel and one of black felt. 
These bags cost a total of $2.50. I 
value them at $18.50." 

Mrs. C. T. Flummer, Dargin Club, 
says, "I have crocheted 11 Corde 
bags, sold 5 of them. I sold the 
bags at $12.00 to $20.00 each. They 
cost me $6.00 to $8.00 each. My 
profit on the bags was $31.50. I 
made one for myself and the oth- 
ers for relatives and friends." 

Mrs. Robert Holcombe, Dargan 
Club, has made fabric bags for her 
family and friends. She watched 
remnant counters for suitable ma- 
terial. 

Mrs. A. F. Riggins, Westo-ver, 
saw pouch bags in Miami made of 
plastic thread. She made her own 
crocheted pattern. And has made 
14 purses at a profit of approxi- 
mately $1.00. Mrs. Riggins orders 
the thread from Miami and gets 
the lining material and draw strings 
at department stores. 



Articles Made From Feed Sacks 

Home Demonstration Club wom- 
en in Shelby County say feed sacks 
have furnished most of the material 
for clothing for themselves, their 
children, and homes during the past 
five years. 

Mrs. Jesse Barnes, Chapel Club, 
says, "Sacks were life savers for 



me in providing clothing for my- 
self and eight children. I made 8 
little girls' dresses at a cost of $1.50, 
4 boys' shirts which cost $35c, 10 
dresses for myself at a cost of $2.50, 
6 sheets, 8 pair pillow cases, 7 
pairs window curtains, 4 cresser 
scarfs. 4 nightgowns, 4 aprons, 6 
slips, 10 pairs children's panties, 6 
quilt linings, and 4 tufted spreads 
for a total expenditure of $12.05. 
These items would have cost at 
least $140.00 if I had bought ma- 
terials of equal quality, which 
meant a saving of $127.95."* 



Poultry Flock 

Mrs. G. A. Heaton, Wright Club, 
Wilsonville, Rt. 2, is doing an ex- 
cellent job with her poultry demon- 
stration flock. 

During 1945 Mrs. Heaton had 
300 hens. She spent $451.91 for 
feeds and other items, and re- 
ceived a total of $1619.16 for poul- 
try and eggs sold. This left her a 
total profit of $1167.25. She pro- 
vided winter grazing of crimson 
clover and rye grass and mixes 100 
pounds of laying mash with 200 
pounds of ground wheat and corn. 



Turkey Growers 

Three members of the West Ca- 
lera Home Demonstration Club are 
supplementing their family income 
by growing turkeys. 

Mrs. Floyd Johnson sold 30 tur- 
keys last fall for a profit of $180.00. 
Mrs. Johnson states that the bill 
for commercial and home grown 
feed was $50.00. This money is set 
aside for an electric refrigerator. 

Mrs. L. J. Cook sold 60 turkeys 
for $325.00. Her total expenses for 
feed was $100.00, leaving her a 
profit of $225.00. 

Mrs. P. A. Garrett sold 40 tur- 
keys for which she realized a prof- 
it of $188.00. She has set her money 
aside for a living room rug. . 

These turkeys were fed home 
grown grain along with commercial 
starting and growing mash.

New Laundry To 
Begin Operations 
Monday, May 20 

The Shelby Laundry and Clean- 
■ers will be open for business next 
Monday, May 20, in their new 
building on the corner of Valley 
and Shelby Streets. The business 
is under the ownership and opera- 
tion of Charles Mahaffey and 
Ralph Henderson, both local men, 
who have been working on the 
new laundry since September. 

Charles Mahaffey has had 19 
years experience in a supervisory 
capacity in the laundry business, at 
Alabama College Laundry and in 
the Dinkier Hotel System. During 
the war, Charles was a department 
manager for Bechtel-McCone Cor- 
poration in Birmingham. 

Ralph Henderson, prior to en- 
tering the armed forces, was em- 
ployed in the purchasing depart- 
ment of the Birmingham Electric 
Co., and was assistant purchasing 
agent of the Emergency Ship- 
building Department of Alabama 
Drydock and Shipbuilding Corpor- 
ation in Mobile. Ralph spent three 
and a half years in the Army Air 
Forces, 20 months of which was 
spent in the Pacific with the Fifth 
Air Force, where he reached the 
rank of technical sergeant while 
serving as engineer on a C-47 
transport. He was awarded the 
Distinguished Flying Cross, Air 
Medal with two clusters, the Asia- 
tic-Pacific ribbon with five battle 
stars, and the Philippine Libera- 
tion ribbon. 

Shelby Laundry and Cleaners 
plans to serve all parts of Shelby 
County with pick-up and delivery 
of laundry and dry cleaning. A 
tentative schedule for this pick-up 
and delivery service, beginning 
Monday, May 27, appears in their 
advertisement in this issue of The 
Times. 

The latest and most modern 
equipment, all of it new, will be 
used, and and will include tapered 
Buck presses in varying head sizes 
which will make it possible to iron 
efficiently pants, dresses, and all 
types of cotton goods. Hand wash 
service and board hands assure 
proper handling of fine materials. 
They are equipped to give effi- 
cient and dependable flat work 
service. The use of a four-coil 
Huebsh tumbler enables the laun- 
dry to produce fluffy and soft 
Turkish toweling. Use of the J PS 
method in the Petroleum Products 
■dry cleaning system insures quality 
cleaning free from odors, spots, 
and the re-depositing of fatty acids 
into the customer's clothes.

iary's poppy program, Mrs. Wyatt

this year at Alabama College she 
has served as Sunday School rep

connected with the college and who 
live in Montevallo earnestly desire 
that our friends and fellow citi- 
zens lend the college their support 
by attending the exercises, even at 
some sacrifice. These commence-

in the history of the college and of 
the town of Montevallo, which we

grateful. 

I am not unmindful of the per- 
sonal and friendly interest you

your loyalty to me as a public of- 
ficial. I shall continue at all times 
to so conduct the office of Circuit

very sincere appreciation for the

recent race for Superintendent of 
Education in Shelby County. Ap- 
proximately 3,000 voted for me and 
I have no words to fully express 
my appreciation for the loyal sup- 
port from each one of you. I do, 
however, pledge my very best ef- 
fort toward the improvement of 
schools in Shelby County.

thanks and deep appreciation for 
your loyal support and kindness

"<V corners mostt V 
voices on ** u[epho '*'' 





To a lot of businesses, customers are better known 
by their voices than by their faces. They order by 
telephone — seldom come in person to buy. 

Many merchants conduct their buying in the 
same way. The telephone is the funnel through 
which flows an endless stream of commercial trans- 
actions. 

Businessmen have grown accustomed to contin- 
ually rising standards of telephone performance. 
But with the Telephone Company — as with every 
business — the maintenance of that performance is 
directly related to the maintenance of earnings. 

In 1945, telephone earnings were the lowest in 
more than two decades. In the current year, even 
lower earnings are in prospect. Wages have been 
increased, in keeping with the national trend, and 
the cost of everything else which goes into the 
furnishing of telephone service is steadily rising. 

As every business man knows, adequate earnings 
are a primary requirement of American enterprise. 
Telephone earnings must be sufficient to provide 
the kind of service you expect and to attract new 
capital for continued expansion. 

In a word, adequate earnings safeguard the full 
usefulness of the telephone in carrying on the 
affairs of the community.

STATEMENT 

To the Voters of Shelby County : 
My Friends, 

I thank you with all my heart 
for the confidence you have placed 
in me by giving me the nomina- 



tion for another term as your 
County Treasurer. By giving me 
this honor, you have shown that 
you appreciate my service and that 
you are willing for me to continue 
to hold this office. I assure you 
that if I am elected in November 
I shall continue to serve you in the 
same degree of proficiency and 
courtesy as I have done in the past 
8 years. 

Respectfully,

We Began Turning 
Over Stones More 
Than A Year Ago 



,ONG before the wars were drawing to an end, 
we reached the conclu sion that there would be 
a big post-war demand for electric service, both 
from old and new customers. So that we could 
extend this service as promptly as possible, we 
requested, and were finally granted by appro- 
priate governmental authority, permission to cut 
poles from our forest lands for new rural lines. 
We placed large orders for copper and aluminum 
wire, pole line hardware, transformers of all 
sizes, cars and trucks for construction forces, 
substation equipment and numerous other items 
necessary for the extension of electric service. 

The wars ended. Then came the strikes. 
Some have been settled, others are still in prog- 
ress, and some new ones have started. Their ill 
effects build up and the ground lost is never fully 
recovered. Consequently, deliveries of electrical 
line equipment and materials are a mere trickle 
compared to the, needs. The shortage is nation- 
wide — even world-wide in some items. 

Hundreds of different items enter into the 
manufacture of necessary materials and equip- 
ment for electric lines, and the lack of any one 
essential item can delay completion of a con- 
struction project for months. 

If you are an applicant for electric service — 
residential, industrial or commercial — we want 
you to know that we are just as eager to complete 
the facilities to serve you as you are to have the 
service. We are leaving no stone unturned to get 
this service to you as soon as possible in spite of 
existing shortages and delays over which we 
have no control.

To the Voters of the Second District 
of Shelby County: 

I thank you for the support you gave me in the first primary 
on May 7. I solicit your continued support for, member of the 
County Board of Revenue from this district on June 4. 

Your support is solicited on the basis of my intention to serve 
all the people and interests of the Second District and of Shelby 
County fairly, honestly and impartially, with no favors or pre- 
ferences to any group or section of the county ;or district. 

I will work all the roads of the second ^district the very best 
possible, and will begin the work where it is ; most needed. I will 
employ competent men and will give first opportunity to war 
veterans who are qualified to do the work. I will purchase new 
road machinerry as soon as the same is available and money is 
available to buy it with. 

There are other important public matters which a member of 
the Board of Revenue must deal with. I am aware of those 
things, such as public health, public welfare, and the care of 
the old and underprivileged. These things will have my careful' 
attention to the end that Shelby County may discharge its obli- 
gations in those respects in the best manner possible. 

My past record of training and experience, I believe, qualifies 
me to serve you well in this office. I will give it my full time. 

There are some who say it is impossible for a member of the 
Board of Revenue to give the second district better roads than 
we have had in the past. They say it is foolishness to even prom- 
ise to TRY to do better. So far as I have been able to learn, the 
people who are talking that way are supporting my opponent. 

I do not think it is foolish to promise, you that I will TRY, 
to give you better roads than you have had in the past. I believe 
the majority of our people think they CAN have better roads, 
and I think they want a Boardjmember who will TRY to give 
them better roads. That is what I propose to do. 

I do not accept the defeatist attitude • that there is no use to 
TRY to do better. I know that if we do not have b Board Mem- 
ber who will TRY to have better ; roads, we will not have them. 

I invite the voters to join with me and support me on the 
promise that I will TRY to provide you with better roads, and 
that I will make an honest effort to give you a better adminis- 
tration in all phases of the duties of the office than you have) 
had in the past. Upon this basis I ask for your support June 4. 

THANK YOU.

General Brougher 
Speaks To Rotary 



Brigadier General William E. 
Brougher addressed members of 
the Rotary Club of Montevallo 
and a large gathering of guests 
at Palmer Auditorium last Friday 
night. Prior to the address Gen- 
eral and Mrs. Brougher were 
honor guests at a dinner in the 
college dining room, attended by 
the full membership of the Ro- 
tary Club and many guests. 

General Brougher is at present 
commanding officer of Fort Mc- 
Clellan, Anniston. He has had 
thirty-odd years of service in the 
army, and was in the Philippine 
Islands at the outbreak of the 
war with Japan. He was captured 
and held prisoner by the Japan- 
ese, along with General Wain- 
wright, throughout the war. 

The lecture he delivered was a 
masterful exposition upon his ex- 
periences of many long years in 
Japanese prison camp. It was a 
speech the like of which has not 
been heard before, and to say 
the least, it stirred the heart and 
soul of every listener. The gen- 
eral is a poet of unusual ability.

many pieces of verse which he 
wrote while in prison.

Homes and Grounds Tour 

Were you one of the 32 people 
who attended the homes and 
grounds tour Friday, May 17? 
The following clubs were repre- 
sented : New Hope, Pelham, Key- 
stone, Ebenezer, Dargin, Spring 
Creek, West Calera, Red Lawn, 
Klein, and Summer Hill. 

The first stop was at the Floyd 
Johnson home in West Calera 
community. This farm was pur- 
chased through the FSA Tenant 
Purchase Plan. Mrs. Johnson cre- 
osotcd the house in white at a 
cost of $40.00. In landscaping the 
grounds, Mrs. Johnson transferred 
shrubs from the yard and used 
them as foundation plants. The 
hedge plants were used in the side 
yard to screen the back yard. 

Mrs. Johnson's living room has 
been made very attractive at a 
low cost. She made a studio couch, 
padded mission type chairs and slip 
covered them for a total of $12.50. 
She has painted the woodwork 
this spring. Draperies for the liv- 
ing room were made of sacks and 
3 pairs of curtains for a bedroom 
were made of mill cloth at a 
cost of $2.22. 

The tour made a second stop in 
the same community with Mr. and 
Mrs. P. A. Garrett. The Garretts 
have done a good job of convert- 
ing three rooms and an open hall 
into a lovely country home. The 
large living room, storage space, 
convenient ki t c h c n, bathroom, 
basement offered many sugges- 
tions to the group. Mrs. Garrett 
uses the basement to care for 
milk, a laundry room, and canned 
food storage. 

The next stop was with Lois 
Alexander in Spring Creek com- 
munity. Lois and her brother be- 



gan work in the living room 7 
years ago by tearing away parti- 
tions between bedrooms and a 
small hall. A mantle and bookshelf 
were added. The living room fur- 
nishings were made at home from 
scrap lumber and car seat cush- 
ions. The curtains and draperies in 
the house are made of feed sacks. 
The kitchen has good storage 
space built in cabinets, pantry, 
cleaning closet and an attractive 
breakfast room made from the old 
pantry. 

Outside work on the house has 
been tearing away of an old porch 
and adding a new entrance, adding 
double windows, new weather 
boarding, and paint, underpinning 
the house with field rock, and con- 
crete doorsteps. A lily pool, rustic 
bridge, bird bath and a collection 
of flowers make up Lois' flower 
garden which adds much beauty 
to her grounds. The tour ended 
with a picnic on the Alexander 
lawn.

Canadian Dairy Calves 

Four Shelby 4-H Club boys and 
girls were happy to know that the 
Jersey calves they ordered from 
Canada had arrived here in good 
condition. It is beyond all doubts 
that these calves are the best 
quality to come to Shelby County. 

Joel Bearden, Helena 4-H Club; 
Howard Hall, Jr., Calera Elemen- 
tary 4-H Club; Clyde McEwen, 
Columbiana Senior Club ; and Lin- 
da Ellis, Columbiana Elementary 
Club, are the proud owners. You 
can watch these calves and 4-H 
Club members in tha dairy cattle

anyone real competition. 

Six additional Jersey heifers will 
be shipped from Canada shortly 
for other 4-H Club members.

GET OUT THE VOTES 

The issue in the present cam- 
paign for Governor is now clear 
enough for everyone to see with- 
out confusion. 

It is boiled down to this : 

Handy Ellis, the man of ability 
and experience, with a record and 
a constructive platform that proves 
he is, beyond question, the type of 
statesman Alabama can depend 
upon for leadership in the next 
four years. 

Jim Folsom, the man of no ex- 
perience, no known ability, no 
platform and all promises, scamp- 
ering over the state in a whirl- 
wind of fantastic nothingness that 
holds no prospect of statesman- 
ship or ability, not even serious- 
ness, and appeals only to those 
who Aink lightly upon the im- 
portance of our state's government. 

In our opinion, there is no doubt 
about which of these candidates 
fill the measure of requirements 
for Governor in the estimation of 
a majority of the people of Ala- 
bama. Handy Ellis is, without 
question, the one of the two whom 
the majority of the people of 



Alabama want for Governor. 

The result on June 4 depends 
on getting out the vote. If as many 
people vote on June 4 as voted on 
May 7, Ellis will win by a great 
majority. If the vote on June 4 
falls 100 thousand short of what 
it was on May 7, then the result 
will be too close to be comfortable. 

Let the people who are for El- 
lis concentrate upon getting ev- 
ery other Ellis voter to the polls. 
If that is done, there can be no 
fear of the result. 

Many Ellis supporters need to 
cool down and express confidence 
instead of fear There are too many- 
Ellis folks who seem to have the 
jitters for fear Folsom cannot be 
stopped. Let's get the panic out 
of our ranks — and see that the 
Ellis vote actually VOTES on 
June 4. That will stop Big Jirn 
and his foolishness. 



A WEIRD ALABAMA 
ALLIANCE? 

In the run-off race for governor 
we are faced with reports suggest- 
ing one of the weirdest alliances 
in the history of Alabama politics. 
There is talk of a combination that 
would contain important elements 
of the CIO-PAC, the Alabama 
Farm Bureau Federation, the Big 
Mules of Birmingham and the pro- 
hibitionists. Compare that with any 
previous amalgamation of bedfel- 
lows, and you really have some- 
thing. 

Thirty-seven years ago in Tennes- 
see an editorial that rocked the 
state appeared in a Nashville 
newspaper. It was written by for- 
mer Senator Edward W. Carmack, 
then editor of The Nashville Ten- 
nessean, and it was entitled "The 
Diplomat of the Zweibund." It 
was devoted to activities of an al- 



To the Voters of the Second District 
of Shelby County: 

I thank you for the support you gave me in the first primary 
on May 7. I solicit your continued support for member of the 
County Board of Revenue from this district on J une 4. 

Your support is solicited on the basis of my intention to serve 
all the people and interests of the Second District and' of Shelby 
County fairly, honestly and impartially, with no favors or pre- 
ferences to any group or section of the county or district. 

I will work all the roads of the second district the very best 
possible, and will begin the work where it is, most needed. I will 
employ competent men and will give first opportunity to war 
veterans who are qualified to do the work. I will purchase new 
road machinerry as soon as the same is available and money is 
available to buy it with. 

There are other important public matters which a member of 
the Board of Revenue must deal with. I am aware of those 
things, such as public health, public welfare, and the care of 
the old and underprivileged. These things will have my careful 
attention to the end that Shelby County may discharge its obli- 
gations in those respects in the best manner possible. 

My past record of training and experience, I believe, qualifies 
me to serve you well in this office. I will give it my full time. 

There are some who say it is impossible for a member of the 
Board of Revenue to give the second district better roads than 
we have had in the past. They say it is foolishness to even prom- 
ise to TRY to do better. So far as I have been able to learn, the 
people who are talking that way are supporting my opponent 

I do not think it is foolish to promise ,you that I will TRY 
to give you better roads than you have had in the past. I believe 
the majority of our people think they CAN have better roads, 
and I think they want a Board; member who will TRY to give 
them better roads. That is what I propose to do. 

I do not accept the defeatist attitude* that there is no use to 
TRY to do better. I know that if we do not have la Board Mem- 
ber who will TRY to have better; roads, we will not have them. 

I invite the voters to join with me and support me on the 
promise that I will TRY to provide you with better roads, and 
that I will make an honest effort to give you a better adminis- 
tration in all phases of the duties of the office than you have 
had in the past. Upon this basis I ask for your support June 4. 

THANK YOU.

leged manipulator of a most un- 
expected and. to the mind of the 
writer of the editorial, unholy 
political alliance. Its appearance 
was followed by one of the great 
tragedies in Tennessee's political 
history. 

The editorial went on to point 
out the" alleged miracles wrought 
by the "diplomat." It was stated 
that he had made oil and water to 
mix. that he he had welded the 
wooden handle to the pewter spoon, 
that he had grafted the dead bough 
to the living tree and made it bur- 
geon and blossom and bend with 
golden fruit. 

Is there an Alabama diplomat of 
a Dreibund for this reported Ala- 
bama combination is of three, not 
two, as in Tennessee long years 
ago? Who is the architect who de- 
signed this amazing building? 
Who is the father of this mighty 
idea? His light should not be hid 
under a bushel, the cunning hand 
should not remain without a name 
and a habitation.

I want to think each of you who supported me in my race 
for President of the Board of Revenue for Shelby County, and 
I want to extend my congratulations to my opponent W. L. 
Brown and wish for him a successful term. I enjoyed meeting 
every one of you and talking over our mutual interests in Shel- 
by County and I hope we may all unite with your chosen offi- 
cial for this position and work together for the good of all the 
people, and for the betterment of our County. I had a great 
time and a new experience. I enjoyed every minute of it. I now 
stand ready to do my part toward helping make the next four 
years the best years in the history of Shelby County. 

Again assuring you of my appreciation for your courteous 
reception of me in every home I visited, I beg to remain, 
Yours very truly, 

CHARLIE T. HUGHES.

Vote "NO" to CIO 

Rule in Alabama 

CIO — the labor union that has so long fought all legislation for the benefit of 



farmers of America — has officially endorsed Jim Folsom for Governor of 
Alabama. 

Sidney Hillman, Chairman of the CIO-PAC 
Announced from N. Y., Monday, May 13th: 

"We Will Elect Folsom Governor" 

Stop and think what outside domi- 
nation by the CIO would mean to 
Alabama and to you. 

CIO is the labor union that is now 
seeking to revive the F.E.P.C. — the 
agency that has stirred up so much 
racial discord in the South. 

CIO is the union that has openly de- 
clared its purpose to purge all South- 
ern Senators and Congressmen op- 
posed to its aims. 

CIO is the union that made farmers pay to bring 
their perishable produce into New York in their own farm trucks. 

CIO is the union that wants the color line abolished in our ballot boxes. 

CIO is the union that is fighting all other unions for complete con- 
trol of Alabama's industries and businesses and Alabama's government, 

Mr. HILLMAN — "We" the People of Alabama 

Accept Your Challenge! 
We Will Say "NO" To Your CIO On June 4th

Thirty - seven diplomas were 
awarded by W. E. Calhoun to 
Montevallo High School students 
during a program presented in 
Palmer Hall Tuesday morning. 

The theme of the program, One 
World, was an attempt on the 
part of the students to demon- 
strate to relatives and friends that 
they were fully aware of the type 
of world they were entering. 

At 10:00 o'clock the first strains 
of "War March of the Priests" 
came from the organ and the blue 
robed seniors inarched down the 
aisles and onto tthe stage, which 
was decorated to carry out the 
one world theme. 

A huge United Nations emblem 
was suspended in the background 
and a smaller replica of this em- 
blem was used on the three jury 
boxes which were placed in a 
semi-circle on the stage. Flags of 
many nations were hung behind 
the jury boxes. 

The invocation, "Universal Pray- 
er," was sung by the group. The 
audience was welcomed in an in- 
troductory speech by Billy Ing- 
gram. Music as the Universal 
Language, the Work of the United 
Nations Organization, and Youth's 
Vision and Challenge were points 
brought out in speeches by Chris- 
tine Butler, David Ward, and 
Mildred Wooten. The class poem 
was recited by Joyce Farlow. 
Russia, England, South America, 
the Balkans, and the Far East 
were represented in song. The 
program came to a climax with 
the class singing "One World." 

Announcements and awards 
were made by Dr. M. L. Orr. Don- 
ald Liddle, class president, pre- 
sented to Tommy Baker, president 
of next year's student government, 
approximately $125 for the annual 
fund and a wing for the high 
school honor roll. The exercises 
came to an end with the audience 
and class singing the Alma Mater.

To the Voters of the Second District 
of Shelby County: 

I thank you for the support you gave me in the first primary 
on May 7. I solicit your continued support for member of the 
County Board of Revenue from this district on June 4. 

Your support is solicited on the basis of my intention to serve 
all the people and interests of the Second District and of Shelby 
County fairly, honestly and impartially, with no favors or pre- 
ferences to any group or section of the county or district. 

I will work all the roads of the second district the very best 
possible, and will begin the work where it is, most needed. I will 
employ competent men and will give first opportunity to war 
veterans who are qualified to do the work. I will purchase new 
road machinerry as soon as the same is available and money is 
available to buy it with. 

There are other important public matters which a member of 
the Board of Revenue must deal with. I am aware of those 
things, such as public health, public welfare, and the care of 
the old and underprivileged. These things will have my careful 
attention to the end that Shelby County may discharge its obli- 
gations in those respects in the best manner possible. 

My past record of training and experience, I believe, qualifies 
me to serve you well in this office. I will give it my full time. 

There are some who say it is impossible for a member of the 
Board of Revenue to give the second district better roads than 
we have had in the past. They say it is foolishness to even prom- 
ise to TRY to do better. So far as I have been able to learn, the 
people who are talking that way are supporting my opponent. 

I do not think it is foolish to promise ,you that I will TRY 
to give you better roads than you have had in the past. I believe 
the majority of our people think they CAN have better roads, 
and I think they want a Board;member who will TRY to give 
them better roads. That is what I propose to do. 

I do not accept the defeatist attitude • that there is no use to 
TRY to do better. I know that if we do not have la Board Mem- 
ber who will TRY to have better; roads, we will not have them. 

I invite the voters to join with me and support me on the 
promise that I will TRY to provide you with better roads, and 
that I will make an honest effort to give you a better adminis- 
tration in all phases of the duties of the office than you have 
had in the past. Upon this basis I ask for your support June 4. 

THANK YOU.

ELLIS GETS NEW SUPPORT 

As the campaign for Governor 
entered its final stage, new sup-

when Judge Hugh A. Locke, 
widely known attorney and ardent 
prohibitionist, declared that "the 
time has come to postpone con- 
sideration of the prohibition ques- 
tion until we save our state from 
bankruptcy and ruin." Mr. Locke 
described as "buncome" talk about 
a Folsom landslide and asserted 
that "neither Folsom's platform 
nor his promises can stand the 
test of a campaign."

Veterans Ask For Support 
of Bud Norwood for Sheriff 



To the Voters of Shelby County: 

We Veterans of Columbiana have organized a "BUD NOR- 
WOOD FOR SHERIFF CLUB," and ask you Veterans of each 
beat to organize a club in your community for your friend and com- 
rade, BUD NORWOOD. 

We wish first to bring to your attention the QUALIFICATIONS 
of Bud Norwood for Sheriff of Shelby County: 

He has worked for seven years with the State of Alabama as a 
law enforcement officer. During this time he has been commended 
by Circuit Judges, Sheriffs, Federal Court Judges, and other officers 
for his good work and for the manner he handled his cases. 

We wish also to outline his war service record to the Veterans, 
their families, and all the voters of Shelby County: 

Bud Norwood volunteered for the Army and served overseas 
with the 316th Field Artillery in England, France, and Germany 
during World War One. 

He has been Commander of his Legion Post in Calera; also he is 
a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. 

He and his brother, Dave Norwood, have always worked for and 
helped the Veterans and their dependents. 

It is said a man is best known where he lives. Let us then look at 
the vote received by Mr. Norwood and Mr. Bozeman in their home 
beats in the first primary on May 7: 

In Columbiana (where Mr. Bozeman lives) the vote was — 

Bozeman 226 votes 

Norwood 233 votes 

In Calera (where Mr. Norwood lives) the vote was — 

Norwood 274 votes 

Bozeman 67 votes 

We ask each one of you to get out and help to 
elect Bud Norwood our next Sheriff on June 4.

Fraud or Ignorance 

WHICH, MR. FOLSOM? 

During your campaign, Mr. Folsom, you have made many promises. 

If these promises were NOT made in a spirit of sincerity, but only to 
, get votes, then you stand discredited No HONEST citizen will knowing- 
ly vote for a DISHONEST candidate. 

If your promises were made in good faith, they show as nothing else 
can your amazing ignorance of government and business affairs. 

Here, Mr. Folsom, Is What Your Wild 
Promises Would Cost Alabama Taxpayers 

You have promised you would pave every road in Alabama during the 
next four years. This would cost $1,060,000,000.00. This is more than 
TEN TIMES the entire yearly income of the State of Alabama. To carry 
out your road building program would take a tax of 72c a gallon on all 
gasoline sold. 

You have promised everybody over 65 years of age $50 a month as 
old age pension whether they need it or not. This would cost $78,607,- 
259.45 a year, or OVER three-fourths of the State's income for a year. 

You have promised to raise every teacher's salary to not less than 
$150 a month. This would cost an additional $4,623,420.00 a year. 

You have promised to exempt all homesteads up to $5,000 from both 
State and County taxes. This would cost $7,500,000 a year. 

Here, Mr. Folsom, Are The Taxes It Would 
Take to Put Your "Program" Through 

To carry out your promises to those over 65 years old, to our teachers, 
and to owners of homes would take a SALES TAX of more than 12y 2 c 
on the dollar. 

or additional PROPERTY TAX of $9.07 per $100 of assessed valuation 

Are You Trying To Deceive The Voters, Mr. 
Folsom? Or Are You Just Plain Ignorant? 

Either way, you don't deserve the vote of honest citizens who want good 
government in Alabama for the next four years.

Workers May "Peg" 
Social Security 

Martin C. Folmar, manager of 
the Social Security Board's field 
office in Birmingham, today is- 
sued a reminder that workers who 
have reached 65 and have been 
employed in jobs covered by the 
Social Security Act long enough 
to be insured may "peg" their 
old-age and survivors insurance 
benefits, whether or not they plan 
to retire soon. 

The reminder, Mr. Folmar said, 
is intended to help prevent any 
loss of benefits by older workers 
who may lose their jobs, may suf- 
fer reductions in total pay, or may 
lose considerable time from work 
because of illness or a change of 
jobs. 

"Once a benefit is pegged by the 
worker or former worker," Mr. 
Folmar said, "it cannot go down. 
But it may go up, if the worker 
gets a new job or increased pay." 

"Many who are 65 have come in 
and filed claims to protect their 
rights," Mr. Folmar said. It would 
be well for every man and woman 
who has worked in covered em- 
ployment and has reached the age 
of 65 to check up on social secur- 
ity benefits. 

"Many workers aged 65 or over 
do not realize that wnen they lose 
considerable time from covered 
employment, for any reason what- 
ever, or when their total pay 
goes down, their old-age and sur- 
vivors insurance benefits may go 
down also. 

"So we're not only inviting, we 
are urging all workers and for- 
mer workers in private industry 
and commerce — those who have 
done work tinder social securi- 
ty — to come to see us." A repre- 
sentative of the Birmingham of- 
fice is in Calera on the first and 
third Thursday each month at 10 
a.m. He can be located at the U. 
S. Employment Service Office.

Due to the short interval of time between the two primary 
elections, it will be impossible for me to personally contact each 
voter and friend in Shelby County — but I take this means of 
communication to assure you of my deep appreciation for your 
personal interest manifested in my campaign and for the grati- 
fying number of votes you honored me with on May 7, 1946. 
To those of you who did not see fit to support me in the first 
Democratic Primary, I sincerely hope you will give my candi- 
dacy due consideration on June 4 — and if you believe my past 
public record as your Sheriff merits your vote and influence, I 
shall be deeply grateful. 

If elected to serve Shelby County as Sheriff for a second 
term, I shall continue to administer the highly responsible du- 
ties of this office in such a way that your confidence may at 
all times, be fully justified. 

Assuring you of my sincere appreciation for your courteous 
reception of me during the campaign and hoping for your sup- 
port and vote on June 4, for which I thank you in advance, I 
beg to remain,

State Begins New Emphasis 
To Encourage Saving Habit 

Chairman McMillan CaHs On 
Citizens To Put Extra 
Dollars Away For Rainy 
Days To Come 



Keep saving. 

This is the mesage of State Savings 
Bond Chairman, Ed Leigh McMillan, 
to Alabama war bond buyers. 

"The Treasury Department has an- 
swered the national request for a 
continuation of the war bond pro- 
gram." Mr. McMillan said "by issu- 
ing United States Savings Bonds. 

"The Savings Bond is a war bond 
out of uniform. It is designed to do 
the same job for the bond buyer that 
war bonds did for the men who 
went overseas to fight. 

"We were asked to buy war bonds 
to 'Back the Attack', now we are 
asked to buy savings bonds to 'Back 
Our Own Future'. 

"Every dollar put away now 
means a cash reserve when dark 
days come in the future. 

"We must spread the national 
debt. Stop inflation. Have money 
for new homes, new cars, new 
appliances, new farm equipment, ad- 
ditional farm lands, vacations and 
education for our children. Buying 
U. S. Savings Bonds now is the 
way. 

"There will be a great national 
acophasis to encourage further sav- 



VFW Backs Savings 



The Veterans of Foreign Wars

138 in the state's 67 counties, 
behind the emphasis in the pur- 
chase of United States Savings 
Bonds from June 6 through 
July 4, State Commander Joe 
Denaburg announced this week. 

VFW units were urged by 
Commander Denaburg to hold 
meetings, contact citizens and do 
everything possible during the 
emphasis period to tell Alabam- 
ians "You Backed the Attack" 
when we were overseas, now 
"Back Your Own Future. Keep 
Saving." 



ing from June 6, the second peace- 
time anniversary of D-Day in 
France through July 4, Indepen- 
dence Day. The radio, press, adver- 
tising industry, the magazines and 
the retailers will back the empha- 
sis with messages telling us why 
and how to save. 

"Alabama's great war bond record 
still stands. I know that we will 
keep saving when we understand 
that our dollars are needed not just 
for the use of our government but 
because we now have the opportun- 
ity to do something for ourselves." 



Observance Of Flag 
Day Is Urged 

Mrs. Eugene Reynolds, Regent, 
and Mrs. H. D. LeBaron, Ameri- 
canism Chairman, of David Lind- 
say Chapter, D. A. R., solicit the 
interest of our community in dis- 
playing the American flag on 
Flag Day, June 14, and other 
special days such as July 4. 

At the request of these ladies of 
the D. A. R., The Times is glad 
to present their appeal to our 
readers in behalf of more general 
display and use of the flag of our 
country. Mrs. LeBlaron says : "We 
feel it would be good for our 
younger generation to see such a 
gesture on the part of our mature 
citizens, even when the pressure 
of war is not so great." 

Mrs. LeBaron quotes the fol- 
lowing facts of the history of our 
national flag : 

"After the adoption of the Dec- 
laration of Independence in 1776 
it was felt that a national emblem 
of union and independence should 
be chosen. On June 14, 1777, the 
following resolution was adopted 
in Congress : 

"Resolved, that the flag of the 
Thirteen United States shall be 



thirteen stripes, alternate white 
and red, and that the union be 
thirteen white stars on a blue 
field. 

"The story has come down that 
Betsy Ross made the first flag and 
suggested that the stars be five- 
pointed. John Fiske, the historian, 
says the first flag with stars and 
stripes was hastily extemporized 
out of a white skirt and an old 
blue jacket and some strips of red 
cloth from the petticoat of a sold- 
ier's wife. This was first raised in 
August, 1777, at Fort Stanwix." 

In compliance with the request 
of the D. A. R., The Times re- 
minds you to arrange to display a 
flag on June 14.

Our Next Governor 




J. E. (Big Jim) FOLSOM 



A Tribute To 

MVT Delia Mulkey 

While the passing of Mrs. Del- 
la Mnli-ey was unnoted by the 
world at hrge, we who knew and 
loved her realize that her going 
is a definite loss to our commun- 
ity in removing from us a loyal, 
unselfish, and noble spirit. 

We who appreciate the beauty 
of her character, because we knew 
her, are reminded that her great 
contribution was unknown to all 
but those who knew her intimate- 
ly. She was too self-effacing ever 
to advertise her own good work, 
and too humble to seek anything 
for herself. . 

She loved her friends, her church, 
her neighbors, which means ev- 
eryone with whom she had con- 
tact, and most of all. her Lord 
and Saviour. We know of a truth 
with her the Kingdom of Heaven 
was within. 

In the absence of her pastor, 
Dr. W. M. Fuller, her devoted 
friend and beloved pastor for 
many years, Dr. F. B. Pearson, 
conducted her funeral service, and 
paid beautiful tribute to her life. 
The many floral offerings sent by 
those who lament that she is with 
us no longer also testify to the 
esteem in which she was held in 
this community.

Unofficial Results Of 
Tuesday's Election 

Unofficial and incomplete re- 
turns of Alabama's run-off pri- 
mary on Tuesday show Big Jim 
Folsom leading Handy Ellis for 
Governor by a margin of 56,765 
votes. 

In the other state races it ap- 
pears that the vote for Lieutenant 
Governor was close with Inzer in 
the lead over Newton by a few 
thousand. 

Jack Owen, of Tuscaloosa, ap- 
pears to have made a landslide 
victory over Clint Harrison for the 
Number Two place on the Public 
Service Commission. Owen's maj- 
ority, it appears, will approach the 
proportions of two to one.

BIG JIM FOLSOM 

The thundering victory of bal- 
lots that swept Big Jim Folsom 
into the place of chief executive 
of Alabama's government Tuesday 
literally knocked the props out 
from under the structure of our 
state government as it has been 
built by the leadership of the last 
half a century. 

It was the expression of a fast 
majority of people voicing loudly 
their dissatisfaction at the way 
our past and present leaders have 
carried on the processes of state 
government. It was a mixture of 
so many different strange ideas 
and incongruous purposes that 
analysis of the same is practically 
impossible. 

This upheaval has been form- 
ing in Alabama for a generation. 
It has been expressed and advo- 
cated in, a minor measure in every 
political campaign since we can 
remember. This time the magic of 
a super-showman who was smart 
in sensing the possibilities of un- 
usual personality has succeeded in 
gathering those dissatisfied and 
restless elements around him and 
holding them together long enough 
to cast their ballots for something 
they know only very vaguely as 
the hope of a change in our way 
of government. 

If all the strange things which 
Folsom's supporters thought they 
were voting for were incorporated 
into our government, we would 
have a state of affairs so complex, 
out of balance, and unreasonable 
it would produce anarchy. 

Happily, however, Big Jim and 
all the thousands who voted for 
him will not be able to put all of 
those half-baked notions into the 
structure they expect to build and 
call it "Alabama ma.de over." There 
will remain enough conservatism 
and sound leadership to hold down 
much of the recklessness that 
might be attempted. 

Big Jim has a big job ahead of 
him. He has a far bigger job ahead 
of him than the mere matter of 
getting elected Governor. We hope 
he is big enough to face the job 
of the future with more serious- 
ness and dignity than he has thus 
far shown. 

In order to lead the people of 
the State of Alabama safely and 
securely through his' proposed plan 
of "re-making" Alabama, and to 
satisfy the clamoring, heterogeneous 
mass of people who carried his 
banner to victory in his campaign, 
Big Jim is going to have to show 
that he possesses something of 
more virtue than his big feet. 

Best wishes to you, Jim, from 
this one of the 160 newspapers in 
Alabama which were "agin" you. 



CALERA PHEBEAN CLASS 
HOLDS MEETING 

The Phebean Class of Calera 
Baptist Church met in the home 
of Mrs. Mary Childress Wednes- 
day afternoon. In the absence of 
the president, Mrs. C. D. Cowart, 
the vice-president, Mrs. J. A. Ruff, 
president. 

After roll call and the reading 
of the minutes of the previous 
meeting, the program was given. 
Mrs. R. S. Tamplin conducted the 
lesson on the subject, "Mother." 
The hostess served delicious re- 
freshments to 15 members. 



Jarman To Head 
Democratic Club 

At the fifteenth annual stock- 
holders' meeting of the Jefferson 
Island Club Congressman Pete 
Jarman was elected President to 
succeed former Senator Harry B. 
iHawes. 

Mr. Jarman is the fifth president 
of this Democratic club which 
was formed for the purpose of 
supporting, defending and advanc- 
ing the fundamental principles of 
government enunciated by Thomas 
Jefferson. Each of the Club's 
former presidents were members 
of the United States Senate. On 
its membership roster are such 
names as Barkley, Baruch, Byrnes, 
Davies, Farley, Hull, Truman, 
Raybum, Roosevelt, and many 
other leaders of democracy in 
government and industry. 

It was but natural for Pete 
Jarman to have risen to this 
position of leadership in the Jeff- 
erson Island Club on the Board 
of Governors of which he has long 
served. The main object of this 
club is to discuss and promote 
Jeffersonian philosophies, to the 
end that they may become con- 
trolling in Federal and State 
governments. The club is looking 
forward to a most progressive 
period under Mr. Jarman's able 
direction.

We're Fighting For 
ALABAMA 'S Share 

There's a mad scramble going on. 
We're in it, fighting for our share of 
electrical equipment and materials nec- 
essary to extend electric services to both 
old customers who want to expand their 
use of electric service, and to new appli- 
cants. 

We're getting some of the things we 
need — as a result of our placing large 
orders last year, just as soon as govern- 
ment regulations permitted. Others have 
been placed since, but what we're get- 
ting is just a trickle compared to the 
need. 

The demand for additional electric 
service is nation-wide. Electric utilities, 
industry and housing in every state are 
in the mad scramble to get needed elec- 
trical equipment and materials. 

There is no shortage in electric gen- 
erating capacity. We have ample re- 
serves to supply every present and po- 
tential need for electric service. The 
problem is to get enough materials and 
equipment to build lines and substations. 

We're doing, and will continue to do, 
everything possible to bring electric 
service to those who have applied for it 
at the earliest possible date.

In Memory Of 
George W. Booth 

Our brother, George W. Booth, 
died May 30 at 6 a.m. He was laid 
to rest Saturday morning, June 
1, in Summer Hill Cemetery near 
Columbiana. 

George has been sick all this year. 
His health had been bad for five 
years. For ' six weeks before he 
died he was, much worse. He was 
helpless, paralyzed. 

The Lord knew best. He called 
him home to rest. His place is 
vacant here in the home. No one 
can fill his place. Oh how we miss 
him no one can tell. 

He told us before he got so bad 
sick for us not to worry, and that 
he was going to die; that he would 
soon be with his boy in heaven. 

George was born November 27, 
1886. It seems so sad and lonely 
here now. We want to live closer 
to God and meet him and all our 
loved ones in heaven. There are 
just two of us here now in the 
home since George has left us and 
gone to heaven. — Two sisters, 
Linnie Gentry and Bessie Booth.

HARVESTING CLOVER SEED 

Each year the farmers of Shelby 
County have in the past spent large 
sums of money for White Dutch 
Clover seed. These seed have been 
and will always be expensive. It is 
imperative that they be produced 
in Shelby County. 

This year a number of farmers 
will harvest these seed. J. M. Den- 
son, Brack Mooney, Howard Hall, 
and Ennis Lucas planted large 
acreages last fall and are now ready 
to harvest. 

Mr. Hall began harvesting dur- 
ing the past week. His method is 
the best we have seen. The clover 
was mowed and windrowed and al- 
lowed to cure four or five days. It 
was then combined from the wind- 
row. This affords the minimum of 
handling which prevents lots from 
, shattering, 

SLIP COVERS 

Mrs. W. G. Wright, Red Lawn 
Home Demonstration Club, is sup- 
plementing her family income by 
making slip covers for neighbors. 
She learned to make them at the 
leadership school conducted by 
Miss Mamie Whisnant last sum- 



mer. She has made two chair cov- 
ers and' a divan cover for her own 
living room. Since that time she 
has made slip covers for 4 chairs 
and 2 divans for neighbors., 

Mrs. Wright says, "The material 
for my slip covers cost me $10. I 
saved at least $17 by making them 
myself." She does excellent work 
at $5 per chair and $8 for divan. 



REFINISH FURNITURE 

Are you planning to refinish fur- 
niture or floors? The first require- 
ment in doing a good job is to re- 
move old finish properly. Paint or 
varnish remover should leave a 
smooth undamaged surface. The 
paint remover recipe given below 
is excellent for this job : 

1 qt. Benzol or Benzine 

1 qt. Wood Alcohol 

Vi lb. parafin wax 

Shave wax, add to benzol, let it 
stand overnight, add alcohol, keep 
away from fire. 

Apply with brush and leave on 
until finish begins to soften. Wipe 
off with burlap sacks or old rags. 
Two or three applications may be 
needed. 



Fowler Is Named 
Business Manager Of 
Alabama College 

Raymond D. Fowler, budget of- 
ficer in the State Finance Depart- 
ment, has accepted an appointment 
as business manager and treasurer 
of Alabama College, President A. 
F. Harman, announced this week. 

Fowler, a state employe since 
1939 and budget officer for the 
past three years, will succeed E. H. 
Wills, who held the office for 37 
years prior to his death last week. 

A native of Walker County, 
Fowler started working for the 
state seven years ago as an ac- 
countant auditor. In 1941 he served 
as executive secretary of the State 
Defense Council under State Fin- 
ance Director Hayse Tucker, who 
was then council director. 

Mr. Fowler plans to assume the 
new post at Alabama College be- 
tween June 15 and July 1, Presi- 
dent Harman said.

ANOTHER WRECK 

"It never happens in the same 
place twice" can not be said of 
automobile wrecks. On the con- 
trary, it is most likely that a place 
that is in some measure suitably 
situated for traffic accidents will 
see them happen there over and 
over again until drivers are proper- 
ly warned of the danger that lurks 
unseen in the treacherous spot. 

There was another collision of 
two automobiles Wednesday at the 
street crossing between the Lewis 
and McConaughy homes. This is 
the same place where Postmaster 
Reid was involved in an accident 



a few months ago. Other accidents 
ha\ e happened there also. 

It is a dangerous intersection. 
For some reason or other there 
seems to be a jinx on the place, 
mainly, we think, because it does 
not appear dangerous enough to 
constitute a warning to many less 
cautious drivers. 

Hence, the conclusion that some 
kind of markers or signs should be 
placed to warn drivers of the dang- 
er which, it seems, they do not eas- 
ily perceive of themselves. Several 
have expressed the opinion that the 
matter should be considered by our 
town Council. We agree with them.

PRICE INCREASE IS MADE

quart and proportionate amounts 
when sold in smaller containers. 

The increase is based on the pre- 
vailing prices of milk in the lo- 



cality in which it is sold there be- 
ing a considerable variance in 
different sections of the state. 

On this basis Shelby County con- 
sumers will now pay 17 cents per 
quart for fluid milk instead of the 
16 cents which has been the pre- 
valing price up to the passage of 
the present amendment to the milk 
regulation. Buttermilk will now 
bring 11 cents instead of 10 cents 
and for fluid cream containing a 
minimum of 16 percent butterfat, 
1 cent more per half pint con- 
tainer. 



Total gasoline tax collections in 
California in 1946 will exceed 
$75,000,000, according to an est- 
imate made by a member of the 
State Board of Equalization. This 
figure would top by $12,000,000 
the previous record established in 
1941.

James A. Simpson Announces As Candidate 
For United States Senator From Alabama 
To Succeed The Late Senator Bankhead 




James A Simpson, president pro 
tern of the State Senate has an- 
nounced his candidacy for the Unit- 
ed States Senate for the vacancy 
created by the death of Senator 
Bankhead. His statement announc- 
ing his candidacy follows : 

The untimely death of Alabama's 
•distinguished son, Senator John H. 
Bankhead, makes it necessary tor 
the people to choose his successor. 

I will offer as a candidate in the 
coming primary. 

We have recently emerged from 
a war that produced an economic 
upheaval in this country. Conditions 
created by the war and resulting 
from it have given rise to problems 
so serious that the continued exist- 
ence of our form of government 
may depend upon a proper solution 
of them. I believe there is a definite 
need for representatives in the Unit- 
ed States Senate whose knowledge 
of these problems is derived from 
actual contact with them as private 
citizens and whose approach to a 
practical solution of them will be 
governed by personal experience 
in trying to cope with the results 
they have produced. 

The time calls for a new face in 
Washington, fresh from the people 
of Alabama. 

My voting record in Alabama's 
legislature will show that I have 
always recognized that the greatest 
interest of Alabama is agriculture. 
The advancement of that interest 
shall be my constant aim and effort. 

My legislative record shows my 
championship of employees' pension 
funds, of our old age pension laws, 
of our state social security laws, of 
our modern pardon and parole laws, 
and my authorship of the proposed 
statewide hospital building program 
and other such liberal measures. 

As a vetran, I was the author of 
Alabama's first Veterans Service 
Commissioner Act, and have sup- 
ported and will in the Senate active- 
ly support all just and fair measures 
in the interest of our sons just re- 
turning from war. 

I shall seek to obtain equalization 
■of educational opportunity for all 
children, and shall support federal 
aid to education without federal 
control. 

The housing shortage throughout 
the United States for veterans and 
.others displaced by war must be 
faced and solved by the federal 
•government. Immediate relief must 
be given by removing the extreme 
hazard now attaching to attempts to 
build by veterans, contractors and 
.others. 

In our foreign relations, I believe 
tthat the United States has rights as 
well as obligations and that both 
should be honored. I believe that 
the path to permanent peace lies

through support and strengthening 
of the United Nations. 

I shall follow a program of liberal 
and progressive democratic govern- 
ment. I shall strive to reduce useless 
peace time governmental expendU 
tures, to eliminate at once the burd- 
ensome and annoying federal small 
levies, like the $5.00 auto stamp tax, 
which yields little revenue but im- 
poses great inconvenience, and 
otherwise to lighten our heavy 
burden of federal taxes. 

I shall conduct a clean campaign, 
without criticism of my opponents. 
I do not claim to be faultless and 
without errors. The candidates who 
have already announced and those 
others mentioned are all gentlemen 
of the highest character. 

I know Alabama, her people and 
her needs. I pledge my state devoted 
service in the United State Senate. 

Alabama College 
First In Archery 

Miss Edythe Saylor, instructor ot 
Archery at Alabama College, reports 
that Alabama College was first in 
the South and fifteenth in the na- 
tion in the Seventeenth Annual Wo- 
man's Intercollegiate Telegraphic 
Archery Tournament sponsored by 
the National Archery Association. 
Eighty-one teams representing fifty- 
five colleges took part in the event. 
This is the sixteenth time Alabama 
College has participated in this 
tournament. 

The following girls won national 
B rating by shooting scores of over 
350 on a single Columbia round : 
Marion West, Birmingham ; Mary 
Lou Hardy, Evergreen; Jane Neff, 
Gadsden ; and Eunice Prater, Weo- 
gufka. All other members of the 
team received national C rating by 
shooting scores between 300 and 
349. They were : Betty Whorton, 
Gadsden; Betty Franke, Birming- 
ham; Sara Reid, Gadsden; and 
Dorothy Mims, Vida. Other teams 
entered from the South were Col- 
lege of William and Mary, Ran- 
dolph Macon Women's College, 
Women's College! of the University 
of North Carolina, University of 
Texas, Agnes Scott College, Wo- 
men's College of Duke University, 
Florida State College for Women, 
Southern Seminary and Junior Col- 
lege (Beuna Vista, Virginia), and 
Bessie Tift College. 

The eight archers who shot for 
Alabama College shot a total score 
of 2811 points made in 517 hits. 
Each girl shot a single Columbia 
round and all the scores and hits 
were totaled. A Columbia round 
consists of 24 arrows shot from 50 
yards away from the target, then 24 
arrows shot from 40 yards, and fin- 
ally 24 arrows shot from 30 yards, 
making 72 arrows in all. 

For the sixth successive year the 
archers at the University of Con- 
necticut at Storrs have taken first 
place nationally. This year they 
missed the target only five times.

sultant at a rural workshop at

ard," led by Mrs. S. J. McGaughy. 



Doors and windows may be 
moved to make wall space for ade- 
quate work space. Short windows 
may replace long ones. A rectang- 
ular shaped kitchen provides more 
work surface than an equal floor 
space in a square one. 

Floor, walls and work surfaces 
should be of an easily cleaned ma- 
terial. 

Work centers should be arrang- 
ed to save time and energy. The 
U-shaped kitchen is a popular ar- 
rangement. 

The kitchen should provide ade- 
quate storage space for all equip- 
ment used in it .Kitchen cabinets 
should be built to the ceiling. 
Space for things not used often 
may be provided at the top which 
would prevent the collection of 
dust and eliminate a difficult 
cleaning problem* The height base 
cabinet should be determined by 
the height of the person using the 
cabinet. Allow a 3x3 or 3x4 foot 
toe space at the bottom. The base 
cabinet should be about 25 inches 
deep. The space between the base 
cabinet and the cupboard should 
be 15 to 18 inches. The cupboard 
should be 13 inches deep. Drawers 
and shelves should be spaced for 
the items stored in them. 

Adequate day light and artifi- 
cial light is essential to prevent 
unnecessary fatigue.

THE SENATE RACE 

There are many regrets at the 
death of Senator Bankhead, other 
than the one great and universal 
sorrow which so many people feel 
at his passing. To mention one of 
them is to state the fact that Ala- 
bama is so quickly engulfed in an- 
other political campaign. 

Surely the choice of most citizens 
would have been that we be spared 
from it, having so recently had our 
fill of political hair-pulling. But 
the Power beyond human control 
has decreed, and we are in it again 
before we have hardly got the mud 
out of our eyes from the ducking 
we had on June 7th. 

Three candidates are in the race 
to succeed Senator Bankhead: John 
Sparkman, present Representative 
of the Eighth District, Huntsville ; 
Jim Simpson, present State Senator 
from Jefferson County, Birming- 
ham ; and Frank Boykin. present 
Representative of the First District, 
Mobile. There are other potential 



candidates. 

It will be interesting, even if we 
did not want it, to see how the 
campaign and the issues take shape. 

A statement already made by Mr. 
Sparkman is indicative of one way 
the wind will blow. It looks like the 
same wind — blowing in somewhat 
the same direction — that swept 
Jim Folsom into the office of 
Governor. 

We do not have at hand the exact 
quotation from Mr. Sparkman, but 
it said, in effect, that, if he is elect- 
ed United States Senator, he will 
see to it that the federal govern- 
ment does 1 its part in assisting Mr. 
Folsom to carry out the program he 
promised the people of Alabama as 
their Governor. 

So that, in- our opinion, puts Mr. 
Sparkman right on the Folsom 
bandwagon. Well, if the wagon runs 
for John like it did for Big Jim, it 
will get him to the promised land 
with plenty to spare. 

We did not accept Folsom's 
theories in the Gubernatorial cam- 
paign, and we do not aim to accept 
and support them now in the cam- 
paign for United States Senator. 
True, Folsom won by a big majority, 
but that still does not put sense in- 
to the many fool things he advocat- 
ed as a function of our government. 
"Annihilation is not defeat" to many 
who opposed Folsom. And, to put it 
very plainly, we are still ready to 
say that John Sparkman nor any 
other candidate who harps on the 
Jim Folsom program will get our 
support for United States Senator 
from Alabama. 

Our idea of what Alabama and 
the country needs in Washington is

RAMBLIN* RED 

Red Mahan must have joined the 
ranks of the rovin' ramblers. He 
sent a card last week saying he at- 
tended the Rotary Club of Pough- 
keepsie, New York. This week The 
Times has a card from him saying 
he is in New York City and com- 
plaining that he does not have 
enough eyes or time to see all that 
is to be seen. He says hello to all 
his friends back home. He did not 
express himself exactly about when 
he will come home, but we infer he 
will be back when he gets enough 
of rambling and seeing. 



On The Farms Of 
Shelby County 

Soil Conservation Service 
By B. F. Hatchett, W. W. Co wart, 
J. H. Smith 

Winter grazing is being used for 
beef as well as, milk production in 
Shelby County, as proved by Oliver 
Cleveland of Wilton, Alabama. 

This past August, he planted ap- 
proximately 45 acres to Crimson 
Clover, about one third of this was 
first year planting, which was slow 
in getting started ; but in October 
he saw his clover had made a fair 
growth, so he bought several head 
of steers and turned on the clover 
the first of November. 

The steers were kept on the clover 
continually until the 18th day of 
April with no other feed except the 



first day to ease them on the clover,, 
and the last day to help hoid their 
weight until marketed. 

The average gain per steer was 
101 lbs. for the 168 days grazed. The 
average price per pound, when 
bought, was 10j^ cents. The aver- 
age price when sold, was 15.3 cents 
per pound. 

Weather conditions were bad and 
a heavy rain just before harvesting 
cut his seed crop short. Still he 
managed to save approximately 8000 
lbs of Clover Seed.

Boll Weevils Can Be Controlled By 
Poisoning With Calcium Arsenate 

Clyde Wyatt has a 6 row tractor 
poisoning machine and is poisoning 
Tiis own crop as well as doing 
custom work for his neighbors. W. 
J. Bailey Monteval'io is already 
poisoning his crop. 

With all the cost of making a cot- 
ton crop, farmers cannot afford to 
let the weevils have it. 

Grain sorghum such as martin 
combine, plainsman, or hegari can 
be planted for the next two weeks 



and help supply the grain so badly 

needed on the farms. You may get 
the seed from a farmer neighbor or 
from seed houses, Howard Hall, 
Shelby Springs, has his grain sor- 
ghum growing nicely. " 

Winter grazing is needed oh all 
farms- in the county but to have it, 
farmers must begin preparing the 
laud and get a supply of seed and 
fertilizer. Crimson -clover and ' rye 
grass make the best grazing.

' Food Preservation 

1. B.e.Cduse of the scarcity of grain 
people are being asked to cull two- 
thirds of the low producers in their 
flocks. Canning is a very practical 
way of . taking care of these culls. >' 

2. To can hens, cut into pieces, 
cover with boiling -water and sim- 
mer for 18 minutes. Fill into con- 
tainers, add salt, and cover with 
precooking liquid. 

3. Process chicken at 10 pounds 
pressure, pint jars 65 minutes and 
quart jars 75 minutes. 

4. Chicken processed at 10 pounds 
pressure will have a nice flavor and 
the bones remain firm. 

5. Chicken canned according to 
the above directions may be used 
for making chicken salad, or chick- 
en pie, or creamed chicken.

My Personal Pledge To Save Food 

I believe that by saving food I 
can save lives. I believe that my 
food saving efforts will help build 
a stronger more peaceful world 
for generations to come. 

I want to help some starving per-

ing things to the best of my ability: 

1. Waste no food. 

2. Cut down on the use of wheat

Folsom Promises 
Big Changes In 
State Government 

Alabama is going to have its con- 
servative roots dug out with a wide 
and sharp liberal rake. Democratic 
nominee Gov. James E. Folsom tcld 
The Daytona Beach Evening News 
June 25, 1946. 

"I'm going a lot further than Gov. 
Ellis Arnall did in Georgia," declar- 
ed the colorful Folsom. 

I'm going to get rid of the poll 
tax and streamline our educational 
system. 

"I'm going to call a Constitutional 
Convention and have a new Consti- 
tution written. 

Folsom, stopping here briefly on 
a vacation trip, said he was con- 
tinuing on south and he did not 
know where he would stop next. 

Accompanying him were his two 
daughters, Rachel. 7, and Melissa, 4, 
his sister, Mrs. Charles Ellis and 
her two children, Charles, 8, and 
Cornelia, 7, and a friend, Bill Ly- 
erly. 

As the big man who will become 
Alabama's governor in January 
lolled on the beach and gazed out 
to sea, he talked about his plans 
for Alabama. 

"Ellis Arnall has invited me over 
to Georgia to stay with him a while 
before I take office," he said, "and 
I'm going. I want to study his pro- 
gram before I start to- work." 

In- the- lobby of his hotel, a mid- 
dle-aged woman stepped to his side 
and timidly prof-erred her hand. "I 
just want to shake your hand, gov- 
cr;ior<^ she said. 

Folsom. beaming, leaned far over 
to grasp her hand. "Where are you 
from?" he asked. 

". "I'm Mrs; White from Birming- 
ham,"- she replied, "and I want you 
to knd"w ; how glad I am that you 
were elected." •( Democratic nomi- 
nation is taiitariidunt to election in 
"Alabama.) 

"Well,"-' drawled Folsom smiling 
broadly, "you know what f did to 
all the girls over- T6 in my cam- 
paign.)" -anil' he jackknifed -.bis: giartt 
frame and kissed the surprised wo- 
man resoundingly on the forehead. 



Jarman Advocates 
Building Dam 

Congressman Pete Jarman, (D) 
of Alabama, appeared- before the 
Appropriations Committee- June 21, 
urging an appropriation for • the 
construction of a Lock and Dam on 
the Warrior River near Demopolis. 

As Representative Jarman point- 
ed out, the construction of this new, 
modern lock arid dam would in re- 
ality save the Government money 
since it would eliminate the opera- 
tion of four locks which are obso- 
lete and have served their useful- 
ness. 

This project has the approval of 
the Chief of Engineers and has 
been authorized by an Act of Con- 
gress passed in 1945. Its construct- 
ion would mean much to the whole 
State of Alabama, and particularly 
to the Sixth Congressional District. 



Mrs. David Whettenton of Hot 
Springs is spending a month with 
Mrs. Edwin Allen. 

Mr. M. O. Hicks, Route 1, Monte- 
vallo, is in the Jefferson-Hillman 
Hospital. 

Edward R. Davis, Aviation Elect- 
rician's Mate third class, of Monte- 
vallo, has recently been honorably 
discharged through the Naval Per- 
sonnel Seperation Center, Charles- 
ton, South Carolina.

G. I. Training 



During the past few weeks we 
have heard numerous comments and 
criticisms of the G. I. Vocational 
Training program now being con- 
ducted by the Veterans Administra- 
tion and the State Department of 
Education. Typical of such criticism 
is the statement that "this G. I. 
training is a farce." Such an un- 
warranted attitude suggests to us 
that the people who are the most 
critical of this program are the 
most ignorant of the facts about 
how the program is working. 

Veterans now under training are 
receiving a definitely planned course 
of instruction which, along with "on 
the job training - ' includes the use 
of text books applicable to the type 
of training engaged in. 

We believe most of the criticism 
comes from the s false impression 
that veterans receive $65 and $90 a 
month as a mere hand-out from the 
government. The truth is that a 
veteran training under the G. I. 
Vocational Training Program is 
receiving no more money for his 
work than a skilled tradesman is 
ieceiving for the same type of 
work. The employer is required to 
pay the trainee to begin with, 35 
per cent of the wages paid to a 
journeyman. Subsistence paid by 
the government constitutes the 
balance of his wages. The employer 
increases the trainee's wages a pre- 
determined percentage every six 
months until the employer is paying 
the trainee full journeyman's wages. 
As the employer increases the salary 
of the trainee, the government de- 
creases the subsistence so that no 
time is the trainee receiving more 
than the wages of a skilled man in 
the same job. 

Those who would be critical of 
this program should remember a 
few things they apparently have 
forgotten. The veterans taking this 
training spent from two to four 
years in the military services. Had 
they not been in the service they 
would have used that time to train 
themselves for a trade or profes- 
sion. 

The basic purpose of the program 
on the part of the Veterans Admin- 
istration is to help the veterans to 
regain as quickly as possible the 
time lost from their vocational 
training while they were serving in 
the war. Who would deny the 
veteran that privilege? 



LUVERNE PUBLISHER DIED 

Another old-timer in Alabama's 
newspaper family "signed off" this 
week when death took away J. C. 
McLendon 83 year old publisher of 
the Luverne Journal. 

For the past 50 years Mr. Mc- 
Lendon has been a prominent figure 
in Alabama newspaper circles. He 
was a past president of Alabama 
Press Association. 



Dr. and Mrs. Frank N. Harvey 
of Jacksonville, Florida and their 
two sons, Mac and Reese; Mr. and 
Mrs. Leslie H. Whitten of Wash- 
ington, D. C., with their three sons, 
Hunter, Harvey and Stanley are 
visiting their parents, Mr. and Mrs. 
W. A. Harvey. They will all be pres- 
ent for the celebration of the 
eighteeth birthday of Mrs. Harvey 
and her twin sister, Mrs. F. F. 
Crowe. 



Why An Independent Candidate? 

At this period of the political year, the time between primary 
and general election, there is the usual talk of dissatisfaction 
with some party nominees, and somebody's idea to put out in- 
dependent or opposition party candidates to oppose certain pri- 
mary nominees in November. 

One instance is some local talk about putting out an inde- 
pendent candidate in Shelby County against Luther Bozeman 
for Sheriff. We do not think the idea will gain enough support 
to result in putting out such a candidate. Even if it did get that 
far, it would muster scant support in November. 

There are a few things that should be recognized by voters 
who express dissatisfaction with party nominees. First, they are 
people who voted in the primary in support of an unsuccessful: 
candidate. Second, each one of them is honor bound to support 
the nominee of the party primary in which they participated, 
regardless of the failure of his candidate. Third, that indepen- 
dent candidates and bolting voters seldom ever get very far or 
amount to very much politically. 

Referring more specifically to the case of Luther Bozeman 
for Sheriff, we do not see any reason why anybody should be 
very greatly dissatisfied with him for Sheriff. He has made an 
excellent official for the past four years, and it is no great won- 
der or mystery that he won the nomination for a second term. 
It is not unusual, neither is it a bad policy, for voters to re-elect 
an official who has made a good record for one term. 

It is true that we supported Bud Norwood, but being for 
Bud, we were not especially against Bozeman. Because of our 
long friendshiip and utmost confidence in his ability and quali- 
fications, we supported Bud. Both the other candidates had 
been Sheriff (and good ones), and we felt that it would be 
fair to give the office to Bud, who has never been Sheriff, who 
wanted to be Sheriff, and who is qualified to be Sheriff. Now, 
however, we feel that every citizen can rest assured that Boze- 
man will continue to be a good official, and we do not lend any 
ear to the talk of somebody to run against him on an independ- 
ent ticket. There simply is no use for it. 

Then, there is talk over the State that the Republicans will 
put out a candidate for Governor against Big Jim. That is an- 
other idea that does not hold up under our analysis. 

Who is there to vote for a Republican candidate against Fol- 
som? Everybody has already voted for him or Ellis (mostly 
Jim) in the Democratic primary. Those who did so are honor 
bound to step up to the polls in November and vote for the 
Democratic party nominee. 

At the meeting of the State Democratic Committee on last 
Saturday committeeman Kinney, of Cullman, raised the ques- 
tion of Republicans voting in Democratic primaries and urged 
action to prevent it. Why prevent it? Are not Republicans en- 
titled to join the Democratic party and vote in it if they want 
to ? Even the Negroes can do it. 

The problem should not be stated as keeping Republicans 
from voting the Democratic ticket, but to keep them from put- 
ting out Republican tickets after they have already participated 
in the Democratic primary. 

It looks to us like the Republicans in Alabama have decided 
they have tried long enough to beat the Democrats and have 
adopted the plan, "if you can't beat 'em, jine em." We would 
guess that upwards of fifty thousand voters who supported Big 
Jim are traditionally Republican, Populist and everything else 
that has constituted opposition to the Democratic party in Ala- 
bama since the days of Reuben F. Kolb.

Two Men Killed 

It was a combination of regret- 
able circumstances and tragic result 
that brought to Montevallo last 
Saturday the culmination of an 
affray between two brothers-in-law 
which resulted in the death of both 
men and the involvement of other 
disenterested persons. 

The two men who lost their lives 
as a result of the affair were Mr. 
Gene Killingsworth of the Dry 
Valley community in Chilton Coun- 
ty and Mr. Bernice Horton, of 
Boothton. 

There are different stories circu- 
lating about how the trouble start- 
ed and of the happening that 
brought the fatal climax. It appears, 
however, that these facts are es- 
tablished : (1) That Mr. Killings- 
worth died from knife wounds in- 
flected by Mr. Horton in the begin- 
ning of the fight between them. (2) 
That Mr. Horton was fatally shot 
by a town officer or others who 
were assisting him to stop the fight 
between Mr. Killingsworth and Mr. 
Horton. 

Court proceedings will be invoked 
to find a proper verdict in the case. 
To all it is most regrettable, and we 
certainly wish it had not happened.

Garden Suggestions 
For July 

By W. A. Ruffin, 
Extension Garden Specialist 

Do you know? sh— where I can 

buy a pound of butter, bacon or 
lard? I would like to buy a country 
cured ham, but I would be satisfied 
with a piece of fat back or even a 
peck of corn meal. 

I am not trying to be funny, and 
I don't actually need these things 
for myself. I would like to have 
them for my neighbor or for yours. 
I have visited twelve counties in 
Central and Southeast Alabama 
during the past two weeks. In this 
area, farmers as well as towns- 
people are looking for meat, fats, 
and cornmeal. What will the situa- 
tion be six months or a year from 
now? At the present time, I would 
say that the southern half of Ala- 
bama will not make enough corn 
in 1946 to supply the needs of the 
area for bread. It is hard to find 
feed of any kind ; therefore, there 
are fewer chickens and hogs on 
farms than a year ago. 

What has happened to all of us? 
Is it possible that we have enough 



intelligence, courage and stamina 
to win a war and not enough of 
these qualities to make a decent 
living in peacetimes? Sure, every- 
one has money, but money does 
not make a very good meal. Farm- 
ers tell me that they cannot in- 
crease their production ; they don't 
have the labor. What has happened 
to all of the labor? It seems that 
farmers have plenty of acreage- 
planted to cash crops. Why is it 
that they don't have labor to grow 
an all year garden, feed and milk a 
cow, or to look after three pigs and 
twenty-five chickens? 

Can we do anything about this 
situation? I think that we can. In 
the wire grass section of Alabama. 
I would suggest a campaign to get 
every farm family to plant one acre 
of corn—Now !— for bread. I would 
suggest that every family take time 
out of the cotton or peanut fields 
to plant something in the 'garden. 

July is a very important month 
in the garden. Tomatoes and rut- 
abagas should be planted in all 
parts of the state. Broccoli, cab- 
bage, and collard seed should be 
planted to insure plants to be set 
out in August and September. 
Make another planting of pole 



beans, snap and lima, eggplant and 
okra, and field peas. In North Ala- 
bama, the fall crop of Irish pota- 
toes should be planted. 

Keep planting something to eat. 

The following vegetables in the 
varieties listed should be planted 
in July : Beans-Alabama No. 1 and 
cornfield; Bush Lima Beans-Sieva; 
Broccoli-Green Sprouting'; Cabbage 
Charleston Wakefield; Collards-La. 
Sweet ; Cor n-Tuckers Favorite ; 
Okra-White Velvet; Irish Potatoes, 
Use home grown seed ; Field Peas- 
Calif ornia Black-eye and Crowder; 
Rutabagas- American Purple Top ; 
Spinach-New Zealand; Tomatoes- 
Rutgers.

District Governor, Lewis Smith, Visited 
Montevallo Rotary Club Last Friday 



The Rotary Club of Montevallo 
■welcomed as its speaker last Friday 
night, Lewis M. Smith, in-coming 
Governor of the 164th District of 
Rotary International, which includes 
5\ Rotary Clubs in Alabama. 

Mr. Smith is vice-president of 
Alabama Power Company in Birm- 
ingham and is a member of the 
Rotary Club of Ensley. He is one of 
157 District Governors of Rotary 
International who are supervising 
the activities of some 5800 Rotary 
Clubs with more than 275,000 mem- 
bers in 73 countries and grographical 
regions throughout the world. John 
M. Herrin is President and James 
A. Wyatt, Secretary, of the local 
■club. 

Today, this world wide service 
organization continues to grow in 
numbers and strength. During the 
last fiscal year, 404 new Rotary 
Clubs were organized in 12 countries 
of the Americas and in Australia, 
Belgium, Burma, China, Czechoslo- 
vakia, Denmark, England, Federated 
Malay States, Finland, France, 
Greece, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, 
Luxembourg, New Zealand, Nor- 
way, Portugal, Straits Settlements. 
Sweden, The Netherlands, The 
Phillipines, and Wales. 

Wherever Rotary Clubs are locat- 
ed their activities are similar to 
those of the Rotary Club of Monte- 
vallo because they are based on the 
same general objectives, the promo- 
tion of better understanding and 
fellowship among business and pro- 
fessional men, community-better- 
ment undertakings, raising the 
standards of businesses and profes- 
sions, and fostering the advance- 
ment of good will, understanding 
and peace among all the peoples ot 
the world. 

In his address to the Club, Mr. 
Smith urged the Montevallo Rotar- 
jans to dedicate and consecrate 



themselves tP. the purpose of world 
peage. 

"Peace In the world begins with 
peace in the individual", said Mr. 
Smith. "The supreme test of civiliz- 
ed, thinking men is what they per- 
sonally will do to promote peace. 
We ought to ask ourselves every 
day, what have we done that day to 
promote peace in the world? 

"It is not enough just to say that 
we are against war and in favor of 
peace and that we need some kind 
of world organization to insure 
peace. More is required than that. 

"The problems of the peace will 
require discussion at home, at busi- 
ness meetings, in clubs, in churches, 
schools, in the newspaper, in the 
movies, and over the radio. It will 
require a better understanding of 
the people in other lands, their his- 
tory, economy, culture, and postwar 
reconstruction problems. It will re- 
quire an exchange of correspond- 
ence and of students and professors 
between countries. 

"It will require contributions to 
the relief funds for war victims. It 
will require wide education, but 
perhaps most of all it will require a 
personal dedication to the day-in, 
day-out job of advancing inter- 
national understanding, good will 
and peace, known to Rotarians the 
world over as Rotary's fourth ave- 
nue of service." 

Mr. Smith complimented the 
Montevallo Club on its fine record 
although it is the youngest club in 
the district. He urged the officers 
and all members of the club to have 
faith in the future and to put forth 
special efforts during the coming 
year to meet the challenging pro- 
blems of youth, of community and 
business relationships, and of better 
human relationships around the 
world. 



District Governor Allenstein Is Guest of 
Civitan Club of Buck Creek Recently 



The 

Montevallo limes 



VOL. XIV. — No. 11 



MONTEVALLO, ALABAMA, THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1946 



The Civitan Club of Buck Creek 
got away to a good start in the new 
year when they met for their first 
banquet meeting on June 19th. 
Newly elected President T. R. Nash 
presided and asked past President 
Dunlap to introduce the speaker for 
the evening. Civitan Dunlap intro- 
duced District Governor L. G. Allen- 
stein, who brought a timely and in- 
teresting talk on "What Civitan 
Hopes to Accomplish This Year" 
touching on many activities and 
especially mentioned the Hospital 
program, the educational and Safety 
plans as outlined at the Denver 
Convention, and discussed, at some 
length the desirability of. putting in- 
to action a real extension program 
this year. Gov. Allenstein specifical- 
ly mentioned the area between 



Montgomery and the state line as 
being a very fertile field and added 
that he hoped some Clubs could be 
organized in that area this year. 

Gov. Allenstein was very compli- 
mentary in his remarks concerning 
the Biuck Creek Club. He then ask- 
ed Civitan J. H. Dunlap to step up 
to the Speaker's table. Civitan Dun- 
lap was informed that he had been 
appointed a Lieutenant Governor of 
the Alabama District, Civitan Inter- 
national, and was duly installed by 
Gov. Allenstein who charged the 
newly appointed Lieutenant Gover- 
nor concerning the duties and re- 
sponsibilities of the new office. Lt. 
Gov. Dunlap pledged his best efforts 
toward a bigger and better Civitan 
year. — W. A. Thomason, Chairman 
Publicity Committee. 



Dr. Head Issues Warning To Dog Owners 

I have just completed examinations and finding in two 
positive cases of Rabies in milch cows near Montevallo. 

The most common carrier we have for this dread disease 
in this section is dogs. 

I have finished a series of Clinics over Shelby County 
inoculating dogs against rabies. I expect to begin the second 
and last rounds within the next few days. Notice of time and 
place of clinics will be advertised in the County papers and 
by distributing posters. 

I urge all dog owners who have not had their dogs vaccinat- 
ed in 1946 to have this done at one of these clinics. The age 
for vaccination is 3 months and over. The fee for vaccination 
at these clinics is 75c per dog. On and after September 1, 1946, 
there will be a 50c penalty added for each inoculation. On and 
after November 1, 1946, any dog owner who fails or refuses to 
comply with this law, will be prosecuted and fined to the fullest 
extent of the law.

Merchants Act On 
Several Plans 

Several important and interesting 
matters of business interest to 
Montevallo were given considera- 
tion and definite action by the 
meeting of the Montevallo Mer- 
chants Association Tuesday night. 

In the absence of President Stan- 
ley Mahan and Secretary Glenn 
Bashore, C. R. Small, vice-presi- 
dent, presided, and John M. Herrin 
acted as secretary. 

F. P. Givhan, president of the 
Town Planning Commission, dis- 
cussed numerous inquiries the com- 
mission has received, asking for in- 
formation about Montevallo's suit- 
ability for location of small indus- 
tries. In order to supply such infor- 
mation to interested parties the 
Association authorized a committee 
to compile a survey of the com- 
munity, publish the same, and place 
copies in the hands of the Planning 
Commission. 

Mr. VV. E. Calhoun, principal of 
Montevallo High School, presented 
a proposition directed toward em- 
ployment of a full-time athletic 
coach for the school, one who will 
be available for conducting com- 
munity recreation projects during' 
the summer months when school is 
not in session. 

The employment of such a man 
involves the problem of the com- 
munity in some way supplementing 
the school bugget to an amount of 
$600 to pay the required salary of 
the man in prospect for this job. 

The meeting Tuesday night ex- 
pressed interest in the plan and in- 
stituted a committee to work out a 
plan to raise the required $600. 

It was voted that hereafter the 
Merchants Association will meet 
twice a month, on the first and 
third Tuesday nights.

Calera Bank 
Shows Growth 

Mr. Roy Downs, cashier of the 
Central State Bank, Calera, was a 
business visitor in Montevallo Tues- 
day. Mr. Downs is proud of the 
growth of his hank since he took 
charge of it March 1. 1945. At that 
time the bank had total resources of 
$354,461.64. His statement of con- 
dition June 30 shows total resources 
of $728,136.24. This is twice as much 
as the bank was worth when Mr. 
Downs took charge. Congratula- 
tions, Roy, you must have been 
doing some hustling. 



Plans To Light 
High School Field 

Mr. E. D. Reynolds, chairman of 
the community service committee of 
the Montevallo Rotary Club, pre- 
sented a report to the club at it's 
regular meeting last Friday night 
containing the committee's recom- 
mendations and plans for the in- 
stallation of lighting equipment for 
the Montevallo High School athletic 
field. 

The recommendations of the com- 
munity service committee will be 
considered by the board of direc- 
tors of the club, and presented to 
the club for it's approval. 

It is anticipated that, the plans 
will be approved, and if all goes 
according to plans the new lighting 
equipment may be ready for use by 
October, which will be in time to be 
used during the football season for 
the coming year. 

In addition to football it may 
prove possible to hold night Softball 
games under the lights.

education is planned to further con- 
trol the spread of tuberculosis, Mr. 
Grimley said, adding that an in- 
formed public will become more and 
more alert to the dangerous con- 
tagion of the disease.

$5,000 allocated to this state by the 
National Tuberculosis Association 
wilJ be used in the area of Morgan, 
Madison and Limestone Counties,

Men Will Continue To Live By The Sweat Of Their Brows 



By P. O. DAVIS, director 
Extension Service, A. P. I., Auburn, Ala. 

A friend talked with me about needed 
changes in farming in his county. He 
placed high value upon grazing and feed 
crops for livestock. He added: "Our people 
will make these changes when they decide 
to go back to work." His words "go back 
to work" chilled me. 

A few days before this I heard a fear ex- 
pressed that the federal government has 
made it more attractive to people to loaf 
than to work. Then another friend told me 
that this was actually true in many cases 
known to him. I was depressed. 

Quite often of late I have heard it said 
that people don't want to work. A farmer 
friend has quit farming because he can't get 
people to work. The same is true of others 
in other kinds of business. 

Yet we know that we need more of prac- 
tically all products produced by work. Food 
is an impressive example. We don't have 
enough food ; and we won't have enough for 
a year or more. 

Yet we know that more work is essential 
to making more food. The Bible is authority 
for the doctrine that "Man shall live by the 
sweat of his brow." 

And this is still true. It will remain true. 
We have learned how to make bread with 
less sweat. A man makes more bread with 



an hour's work, and with less drudgery. More 
power and equipment enables a man to do 
this. The same is true of more and better 
fertilizer; of better varieties of crops; and 
of other scientific achievements. 

While these are all true, we can never get 
away from the fact that man always has and 
always will live by the sweat of his brow. 
The only way that wealth can be created is 
by work. 

An impressive example of this is a labor 
strike such as we had recently. Men quit 
working, coal quit coming from the earth, 
wheels quit turning; no products were made; 
so no wealth was created. 

On a small farm in Limestone County I 
was reared to work. I was taught to respect 
people who work. 

Our farm work was much more laborious 
than at present. We had little equipment 
and only mule power. Now my relatives on 
the same farm accomplish much more with 
less wear of their bodies. They have trac- 
tors and other equipment. The same, of 
course, is true of other farmers; and also in 
industry. 

I hope, therefore, that the indifferent at- 
titude toward work which is now too preva- 
lent will not continue. If it does continue it 
will be a severe blow to our way of life. 

People will not be able to build enough 
houses; and those they build will not be good 
enough. Automobiles will be insufficient. 



Farmers will not be able to get enough trac- 
tors and equipment. Clothes, as well as food, 
will be insufficient. To these countless other 
articles can be added. 

It is a known fact that a man who is effi- 
cient, energetic, and agreeable is a man 
whom people want to work. It's true also 
that courtesy is wanted; and it pays. 

In recent years it has been easy for clerks 
in stores to be indifferent and, at times, rude. 
The time will come when such clerks will 
not be needed, unless they change. It is true 
also that customers should be courteous. We 
who buy owe the same courtesy to sellers 
that sellers owe to us. 

For many years and on numerous occasions, 
I have insisted that this nation can have 
sound prosperity in time of peace. I have 
said that we can be as prosperous in peace 
as in war. 

But each time I have said we can have 
this if we'll do what we know to do. Among 
the "musts" is enough work accompanied by 
enough study and thought. Intelligent work 
is more essential than hard work. 

We must seek also to keep all people pro- 
ductively employed on farms, in factories, in 
mines, in offices, and elsewhere. This em- 
ployment should be at good wages but not 
above what the individual earns by his en- 
ergy and his intelligence. 

Prosperity will not remain long on a Santa

This Month In Rural Alabama 



Mullet In Ponds?

By ALLEN M. PEARSON 
Extension Fish and Wildlife Specialist 



A number of inquiries have been received 
on stocking farm ponds with mullet. No 
work with mullet has been conducted at Au- 
burn. Publicity concerning mullet has been 
based upon work conducted by the U. S. 
Fish and Wildlife Service. A request for in- 
formation was sent by me to the Central Of- 
fice of the Fish and Wildlife Service. The 
reply is quoted below: 

"The Fish and Wildlife Service is not yet 
ready to supply detailed information on rear- 
ing mullet in fresh-water ponds. We have 
conducted a little experimental work in the 
rearing of mullet at the Beaufort, North 
Carolina, unit but the study is still very much 
in the experimental stage and the investiga- 
tions have not progressed to the point where 
it is possible to make recommendations to the 
average farm pond owner. If someone liv- 
ing near the coast had some fresh waters 
and could obtain a supply of mullet locally he 
might try stocking these fish in the area. 
However, for ponds that are not located near 
a source of supply I would not encourage 
the stocking. 

"There was a certain amount of prema- 
ture publicitiy given the stocking of mullet in 
farm ponds. On the inquiries that the Ser- 
vice has received as a result of the informa- 
tion which was released, we are telling the 
pond owners that we see no justification for 
experimenting with mullet in their waters at 
this time. We are also informing the inquir- 
ers that the Service does not handle mullet 
for general distribution. It is my opinion 
that in reply to most of the letters you receive 
you should discourage the use of mullet in 
farm ponds and suggest the black bass-blue- 
gill sunfish combination."

Step Ladders 

Take These Precautions With Stepladders: 

INSPECT the ladder carefully for any de- 
fects. 

A firm level base is essential. If blocking 
is necessary it should be 
solid. Open the ladder all 
the way until the spreader 
locks itself. 

Avoid ladders having 
rope, chain, or other make- 
shift spreaders. Be sure to 
place the ladder so that desired objects may 
be reached easily. If 
possible have another 
person steady the lad- 
der while it is in use. 
Avoid standing on the 
top of a stepladder; 
use one sufficiently 
high to let you stand at 
least two steps from its 
top.

that getting them out of the woods pays. 

Without very much encouragement from 
his friends, in six days Mr. Martin had log- 
ged, split and sold about 400 posts at 35 cents 
each. He paid off his helper, bought about 
$70.00 worth of feed, seed potatoes for a 
large garden, groceries and other items and 
still had several $10 bills in his pocket. 

"Now that I have had a little experience 
with cedar posts, I can get out 150 per day," 
he says. "I cut the larger cedar trees from 
about an acre and a half last week, and left 
the young cedars to grow up to where I can 
get split posts from them." 



Rid Pigs Of Worms 



AS a result of tests conducted by the zoo- 
logical division of Bureau of Animal In- 
dustry at Beltsville/ Md., the value of fluid 
or powdered skim milk and whey to keep 
growing pigs free of intestinal and stomach 
worms and parasites has been demonstrated. 
This topic was first discussed by Dr. Benja- 
min Schwartz, chief of this division, at a re- 
cent Chicago livestock sanitary meeting. As 
supplies of dairy by-products were limited 
during the war, the facts were not released 
previously. 

This feeding method is not recommended 
as a substitute for careful sanitary manage- 
ment, but is likely to be useful and practical, 
as well as nutritionally economical on farms 
and in regions where skim milk and whey 
products are available in protecting pigs from 
parasites. 

Two feeding systems were used. (1) Pigs 
were fed these dairy by-products for three 
days in succession at intervals of two weeks 
without any other rations, or (2) they were 
fed once daily on such dairy products in place 
of the afternoon grain ration. The pigs other- 
wise got a balanced ration of grain, tankage 
and minerals. 

Even when the experimental pigs were 
kept under conditions that favored their ac- 
quiring large numbers of intestinal parasites, 
they escaped for the most part any signifi- 
cant traces of stomach worms, ascarids, nodu- 
lar worms and whipworms. The control pigs 
which were fed only the balanced ration 
without dairy feeds became rather heavily 
infested with parasites when kept in worm- 
ridden lots. 



How Barbed Wire Started 

BARBED wire — that keeps 'em down on the 
farm — got it's start keeping 'em off the 
farm. 

It was down in Texas during the War Be- 
tween the States that a farmer was trying 
ways to keep wild herds of cattle from tram- 
pling his orchard. Finally he hit on the idea 
of binding nails to galvanized wire. It work- 
ed — and an industry was born, an industry 
that last year used 234,000 tons of steel. 

It Was Profitable 

JE. Harrison, Greenville, Butler County 
. writes timber marketing specialist J. D. 
Sellers as follows: 

"I want to thank you for what you have 
done for me. I mostly wanted enough money 
out of my timber to allow me to paint my 
house, but with your help I got $1050 for it. 
I would have been willing to sell it all for 
$500 if you hadn't shown me I had more than 
that. The W. T. Smith Lumber company, 
Chapman, Alabama, has already begun cut- 
ting it. I wouldn't let them cut anything but 
what we marked." 



How Control Rats 



Question: What is the recommended pro- 
gram for'combatting farm rats? 

Answer: About three pounds of mixed 
bait, using fortified Red Squill poison with 
fish, meat, rolled oats or cornmeal, is ade- 
quate for the average farm homestead. It is 
best not to use the powerful new 1080 poison 
in any area where farm animals can get to it, 
hence, Red Squill is used. This latter poison 
is entirely lethal to any type of rat likely to 
be found on the farm, including the "cotton" 
rat or ordinary field rat, the short-tailed 
rodent which is responsible in many cases for 
the destruction of quail coveys.

Causes of Heart Disease 

(Prepared especially for This Month in Rural Ala- 
bama by the State Department of Health.) 

THE medical profession has long been 
greatly concerned over the mounting toll 
of the so-called degenerative diseases, which 
attack primarily those who have reached or 
passed middle age. 

Heart disease, the unchallenged king of 
all the killers, is by far the most dangerous 
of this group. It may be due to certain dis- 
eases of childhood, such as scarlet fever, 
rheumatic fever, or diphtheria. Or it may be 
caused by such conditions as diseased tonsils, 
decayed teeth or syphilis. Most cases, how- 
ever, are the direct or indirect result of the 
strain of modern-day living, marked by exces- 
sive work and play and insufficient rest. 
Other contributing factors are overeating, 
poorly balanced diets, insufficient exercise 
and failure to spend enough time out of 
doors. 

Hardening of Arteries 

Arteriosclerosis, or hardening of the arter- 
ies, another member of that deadly group, 
becomes progressively fatal as age advances. 
Very little is known as to the actual cause of 
this condition, in which the walls of the art- 
eries thicken and lose their elasticity, thus 
greatly impeding the flow of blood and mak- 
ing more difficult the heart's work of supply- 
ing this vital fluid to all parts of the body. 

Most Fatal of All 

Nephritis, or Bright's disease, is by far the 
most fatal of all diseases of the kidneys. It is 
marked by changes in the tissues of these 
organs, which changes may be due to inflam- 
mation resulting from certain poisonous sub- 
stances carried to them by the blood or to 
the action of certain bacteria. Although the 
medical profession freely concedes its inabili- 
ty to reach anything like general agreement 
regarding the causative factor, it is well es- 
tablished that certain forms of illness, such 
as tonsilitis, scarlet fever, typhoid, malaria, 
high blood pressure and syphilis, play a part 
in its unfortunately wide prevalence. So do 
certain drugs, such as cantharides and tur- 
pentine, and prolonged exposure to cold and 
dampness. 

Another Major Killer 

Diabetes, another major killer among those 
diseases to which the elderly are especially 
susceptible, is a result of the body's inability 
to assimilate sugar, which inability is due to 
a deficiency of insulin, a substance secreted 
by the pancreas. This results in an excessive 
secretion of sugar and certain harmful acids 
in the blood stream and their subsequent dis- 
charge in the urine. 

Although, like other degenerative diseases, 
diabetes has kept many of its secrets from 
the inquisitive minds of medical science, obe- 
sity, or overweight, and heredity are believ- 
ed to be important factors in determining a 
person's chances of developing it. Although 
the discovery of insulin by the late Dr. Fred- 
erick G. Banting has saved many lives, it 
has not brought a cure for diabetes — only an 
effective means of arresting it. 

Early Discovery Essential 

Unfortunately, these and other diseases 
which offer special danger to the elderly 
give little evidence of their presence in the 
early stages. It is unsafe, therefore, to wait 
for marked physical changes to occur before 
taking measures against them. Even at the 
outset they can usually be detected by exam- 
ination at the hands of a physician. When dis- 
covered then, their progress usually can be 
checked and in some cases cures can be ef- 
fectuated before serious damage has been 
done and a person's earning power seriously 
impaired. 

Perhaps the greatest tragedy inherent in 
these diseases, aside from their effect upon

his 72-acre farm in cultivation. He also has 42 of the cultivated acres in cover crops. He has a 200-hen poul- 
try flock. 



'"Body Feeds On Itself" 

Malnutrition is slow starvation. Doc- 
tors agree that 1500 calorie's a day is 
rock-bottom if the body is to perform 
even the primary function of keeping 
alive. Below 1500 calories the body be- 
gins to feed on itself. Fat layers be- 
tween muscles and around vital organs 
disappear. Anemia sets in. As resis- 
tance is lowered, the system falls easy 
prey to tuberculosis, dysentery, blood 
poisoning. 

While the body grows leaner and 
weaker, subtler, more dangerous 
changes occur. Vitamin deficiency causes 
bones to soften. Protein-deficient diet 
causes edema — a swelling of arms, legs 
and abdomen because of waterlogged 
tissues. Hair and teeth may fall out. 
Children stop growing. . 

150 million Europeans are on daily ra- 
tions of less than 1500 calories. — Time

Barn Fire Hazards 



those most directly concerned, lies in the im- 
poverishment of society by robbing it of the 
fruits of the labors of those who, by many 
years of training and experience, have reach- 
ed the point where they should be able to 
make notable contributions to the well-being 
of their fellow-men. 



DROHIBIT smoking in or around the barn. 
*■ Careless smokers have destroyed many 
barns. 

Do not strike matches in 
the barn. Light the lantern 
before entering, and if 
matches must be carried see 
that they are safety matches 
that can be ignited only on 
the box or cover. 

Provide hooks or wires 
from which to hang lanterns. 
Don't set the lanterns down 
where they can be knocked 
over. 

Correct size fuses and solid, 
clean, well insulated electrical connections 
are prime essentials of safe wiring. 

Never put damp hay in the barn. Whether 
the hay ignites or not it will be damaged as 
feed. 

Lightning rods protect buildings, but only 
when the connections to the ground are good. 

Store gasoline and kerosene outside the 
barn. The tractor might well be kept out of 
the barn, too. 

Sparks from fires outside the barn often 
cause barn fires. Keep ground around barn 
free from needless litter. Fire retardant roof 
coverings are advisable.

Here . . . 

is a man who lives and works amidst the dan- 
gerous uncertainties of barbed wire, of mis- 
sing ladder rounds, of projecting nails, of 
balky gasoline engines. 

Jack-of-all-trades — facing the risks of each 
— the farmer fills the dinner pail for Uncle 
Sam and puts a coat upon the Nation's back. 




It's pretty important, therefore, not only to 
him but to his country, that he be kept con- 
stantly in tiptop working condition. 

The average farmer cannot wait — indeed, 
he cannot always pay — for a mechanic to re- 
pair his mowing machine when the hay is just 
right for cutting. When the wife's biscuits 
are in the oven and hungry workers are to 
be fed, he must tackle the problem of defec- 
tive flues himself. 

Over 300,000 Hurt 

Tractors, specialized plows, new imple- 
ments and tools, a varied assortment of 
strange gadgets and instruments, present new 
problems and sometimes curtail the effici- 
ency, cut down the working time, and imperil 
the health and safety of farm workers and 
their families. 

Indicative of the stern price paid by the 
farmer, his wife, his sons, his daughters and 
his neighbors, is the current estimate that 
farm accidents and fires in the United States 
claim a substantial part of farm income and 
more than 4,200 human lives each year. More 
than 300,000 farm people were seriously in- 
jured by accidents in 1945. 

How to pinch down these losses, how to 
conserve the human resources of agriculture, 
and how to stem the inroads of infection and 
injury — to keep sound every farm producer 
— this indeed raises a solid challenge to de- 
mocracy ! 

Most Common Hazards 

The need is to be forewarned so that we 
may be forearmed. Each farmer and his 



scattered rural neighbors must, of necessity, 
do their own enforcing of safety rules. 

Farmers should make their own lists of 
safety hazards as they recognize them on 
their own farms. The following check list 
should provide farm families with a simple 
but effective means of discovering for them- 
selves the most common hazards on their 
farms: 

1. Are you protecting your family and 
property against fires? Do you regularly in- 
spect and clean chimneys and stovepipes? Do 
you avoid using kerosene and gasoline in 
starting fires? Do you insulate wood and 
other inflammable materials from the heat of 
stove and stovepipes? Do you store gasoline 
and other inflammable or explosive materials 
at safe distances from major farm buildings? 

2. Are you protecting your family against 
preventable falls? Do you use only safe lad- 
ders, securely fastened? Do you provide ad- 
equate handrails for steps, porches, stair- 
ways? Do you keep steps, porches, and stair- 
ways in good repair and clear of rubbish and 
all tripping hazards? Do you keep wells, 
cisterns', pits, etc., securely covered? 

3. Are you protecting your family against 
preventable injuries from animals? Do you 
keep bulls, boars, and rams securely penned? 
Do you use care in handling animals with 
newborn young? Do you keep vicious dogs 
tied up and away from children? Do you 
speak to animals before entering stalls? 

4. Are you protecting your family against 
preventable injuries by machinery, tools, 
equipment of all kinds? Do you keep all 
hazardous belts, gears, etc., well guarded? 
Do you permit only experienced operators on 
machinery? Do you stop equipment before 
adjusting, refueling, etc? Do you keep chil- 
dren away from dangerous equipment? Do 
you safely use and store sharp-edged tools? 
Do you keep yard clear of broken tools, 
machinery, etc.?

FOR THE DAIRY BUSINESS. 




Why Less Livestock Feeding 

FIGURES on why farmers are being asked 
to cut down on livestock feeding in the 
present famine emergency have been compil- 
ed at Iowa State College. The figures show : 

As human food — 

One acre of wheat feeds 10 people 52 days. 
One acre of corn feeds 10 people 51 days. 
One acre of soybeans feeds 10 people 28 
days. 

As animal products — 

One acre of feed crops to milk cows feeds 
10 people 15 days. 

One acre of feed crops to hogs feeds 10 
people 15 days. 

One acre of feed crops to steers feeds 10 
people 5 days. 

These figures are based on national aver- 
age crop yields. 



Enjoy The Children 

By ELTA MAJORS 
Child Care and Family Life Specialist 

"Do My Work Today?" 

I meant to do my work today 
But a brown bird sang in the appletree, 
And a butterfly flitted across the field 
And all the leaves were calling me. 

And the wind went sighing over the land, 
Tossing the grasses to and fro, 
And a rainbow held out its shining hand, 
So what could I do but laugh and go? 

—RICHARD Le SALLIENNE. 

WORK today. No, I'd like to play hooky/' 
"How swell not to have the children 
for a few hours." "I'd like to leave it all be- 
hind." 

These are familiar statements to all of us, 
they are very natural, normal statements. 
I think we can understand how truant boys 
feel, what at least makes them want to play 
hooky now and then. 

We feel that way sometimes. We mean 
more to our families if we can and do turn 
loose, take time to leave it all behind. 

Maybe it is for a meeting in town. It helps 
to get away — then too there is always some- 
thing we can get from a meeting. 

Another time it may be taking a little trip 
with the husband. For no reason except to 
have a little time alone together. 

Sometimes it's for a picnic in the woods 
with the children. We teach many things as 
we relax and play together. Time to enjoy 
the children is while they are still at home. 
This will mean leaving some things undone. 

Again, the family may want to do some- 
thing special for mother. Is she going to be 
too busy to let them? 

Time to go to Sunday School and Church 
on Sunday and not make so doing a burden to 
anyone — Not if we have our biggest meal 
on Sunday or if the house must be cleaner 
than any other day. 

Mothers, think through your days. Are you 
filling them too full? Could some things be 
left undone? Could other things be "post- 
poned?" Take time to find renewed strength, 
interest and inspiration from not doing "my 
work today." 



New Alfalfa-like Plant 

LEAFY, fine-stemmed, alfalfa-like big tre- 
foil may be the answer to the southern 
farmer's need for a legume that will thrive in 
wet, lowland pastures. 

Big trefoil has survived and made good 
growth a number of years in low, wet pasture 
land at the Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment 
Station at Tifton, Ga. Other states and the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture are giving 
the plant research attention. 

Big trefoil can be cut for hay or used for 
pasture and has under-ground rootstocks by 
means of which it spreads and thickens 
stands. 

Palatable and nutritious it is particularly 
well-suited for growing with grasses. Big 
trefoil is a long-lived perennial when once 
established in pasture mixtures and gives 
grazing in the latter part of summer when 
pastures are usually short.

"Crossbred Dairy Cows."

Crossbred Dairy Cows 

CROSS-BREEDING that resulted in the 
spectacular hybrid corn is causing a lot 
of interest in the possibility of applying this 
principle to dairy cattle. 

Whether crossing the dairy breeds will 
bring forth hybrid vigor that will result in 
higher milk and butterfat production is a 
question to be answered by a cross-breeding 
experiment being carried out at Beltsville, 
Maryland, by the U. S. Department of Agri- 
culture. 

The experiment differs from the usual pat- 
tern of cross-breeding, in that only a limited 
number of interhybrid matings are to be triad. 
The major plan calls for continuous introduc- 
tion of new genes (units of inheritance) 
through the use of proved sires of the respec- 
tive breeds. 

Females resulting from the mating of two 
breeds are to be mated to a proved sire of a 
third breed. The resulting three-breed fe- 
males so far have been mated to a proved 
sire of one of the same breeds as in the first 
cross, for a second round of the three breeds 
involved. All cows are milked three times a 
day, for 365 days, and bred 4% months after 
calving. 

Thirty-two heifers representing various 
combinations of two breeds have completed 
production records. Most of these crossbreed 
heifers are better producers than their dams. 
Some increase was to be expected because of 
the high level of production inheritance trans- 
mitted by the proved sires. The actual in- 
crease, however, turned out to be approxi- 
mately 20 per cent more (on the average) 
than the expected increase. This may be the 
result of hybrid vigor. 

One of the striking characteristics shown 
by all the crossbred heifers is their persis- 
tency in milk production. In many cases the 
monthly butterfat production varies less than 
10 pounds from the high to the low month. 




Soils Need Lime 

By JAMES A. NAFTEL, Soil Chemist 
Agricultural Experiment Station 

LIME is being cropped and washed out of 
soils at a faster rate than Alabama farm- 
ers are "paying back" by liming! 

Many sandy soils have as little as 400 to 
600 pounds per acre of available lime in the 
plow layer. Thus, there is little reserve, or 
"lime bank account," to draw on. Such crops 
as alfalfa, peanuts, and sorghum remove as 
much as 175 to 300 pounds per acre of lime 
per year. Crimson clover, white clover, les- 
pedeza, and soybeans take out annually 80 
to 125 pounds per acre. This explains why 
successful farmers are finding that lime in 
addition to fertilizer is increasing yields and 
quality of crops. 

Non-Acid Forming Fertilizers 

Several years ago the Agricultural Experi- 
ment Station, A. P. I., succeeded in establish- 
ing non-acid-forming fertilizers in the State 
to prevent such mixed fertilizers as 6-8-4, 
6-8-8, and 4-10-7 from causing further lime 
losses. This is done by using dolomitic lime- 
stone for filler rather than sand. On the 
average about 300 pounds of limestone filler 
is mixed per ton of fertilizer. When a farm- 
er applies 400 pounds per acre of the mixed 
fertilizer, he actually adds only 60 pounds of 
lime. Although this is of value, it does not 
furnish enough lime to replace the amount 
removed. In Alabama in 1945, about 500,000 
tons of mixed fertilizers were sold that con- 
tained approximately 75,000 tons of lime- 
stone filler. This amount would furnish only 
15 pounds of lime per cropped acre in the 
State. 

Farmers have been advised for several 
years to make direct applications of lime to 
soils, especially where legumes are grown. 
The recommended amounts range from three- 
fourths to 2 tons per acre of limestone, de- 
pending on the soil, and types of crops and 
farming. A ton application of limestone of 
90 per cent purity would supply 1,800 pounds 
of lime' per acre. This is possibly a 6-year 
supply for alfalfa, if none is lost from the 
soil by erosion and leaching. For crops that 
remove less lime from soil, the 1,800-pound 
supply would be available over a longer 
period. Thus, by applying directly to the soil, 
the lime needs can be met by an application 
every 5 to 8 years. 

250,000 Tons Used 

In 1944 there were approximately 250,000 
tons of agricultural limestone sold in Ala- 
bama for direct application. On the other 
hand, it is estimated that only 20,000 tons 
were used in 1945, or about 8 per cent of the 
1944 tonnage. This drastic reduction is at- 
tributed in part to war conditions, shortage 



New Peanut Machine 

MACHINES that cut from 32 to less than 
4 the number of man-hours needed to 
harvest an acre of peanuts, and shell as many 
peanuts for seed in an hour as it formerly 
took a man 300 hours to shell by hand — these 
and other time-labor-money saving devices 
for use by farmers in the South have been 
developed by I. F. Reed at the U. S. Depart- 
ment of Agriculture's Tillage Machinery Lab- 
oratory at Auburn. 

Tractor-minded, a newly developed peanut 
digger-shaker lifts, shakes and windrows two 
rows of peanuts that have been loosened with 
special blades on a tractor cultivator. Based 
on field tests, the machine will handle up to 
2 acres an hour, put vines in windrows with 
little loss of nuts and speed up stacking 25 
to 30 per cent. 

Sweetpotato Support 

THE USDA has announced the price sup- 
port program that will be in effect for 
the 1946 crop of sweetpotatoes. The opera- 
tions outlined and the schedule of prices giv- 
en are designed to support a price to growers 
of not less than 90 per cent of parity. 

Farms Are Growing 

THE area of the average American farm 
has grown nearly one-tenth in the past 
five years, from 174 acres in 1940 to slightly 
more than 190 acres in 1945. With about 
86,000 fewer farms, there are nearly 82,000,- 
000 more acres in farms. The preliminiary 
totals are now 1,143,000,000 acres comprising 
6,011,000 farms, compared with 1,061,000 
acres and 6,097,000 farms in 1940. 



of agricultural limestone, and lack of trans- 
portation. Even in the peak year of 1944, 
only 50 pounds of limestone were available 
per acre of crop land in Alabama, whereas 
in 1945 less than 5 pounds per acre were 
used. 

It is estimated that the need of lime on 
Alabama pasture land alone is approximate- 
ly 250,000 tons annually. This shows again 
that actual use of lime is far below require- 
ment. 

Not Enough Used 

Thus, it is evident that present farm prac- 
tices are not taking care of lime removal or 
losses from the soil. This situation can be and 
should be corrected. A recommended plan is 
to lime the soils with broadcast applications 
once each 5 to 8 years. This together with 
the use of slags and non-acid-forming fer- 
tilizers will insure a favorable balance of 
lime in Alabama soils.

It's Easy To Destroy Johnson Grass 



Sweetness Still Scarce 

THE world sugar situation is still very tight 
and increased foreign requirements make 
it impossible to increase civilian supplies in 
the U. S. as much as the military takings are 
reduced. 

More Fruit Expected 

O0MEWHAT larger supplies of fruit are in- 
dicated for civilian consumption during 
the riext few months than in the spring and 
early summer of 1945. The citrus crop is 
larger than last year and the season will be 
somewhat longer, especially in Florida. 

Farmers Harvest Kudzu Seed 

FARMERS in Alabama soil conservation 
districts in 1945 earned $2,044.00 by 
harvesting 6,261 pounds of kudzu seed pods. 
The seed pods yielded 1,054 pounds of clean 
seed that will be used to produce kudzu seed- 
lings for planting in 1947. The seed pods 
were bought by the soil conservation district 
supervisors, who had them threshed at the 
SCS Nursery at Thorsby, Alabama. 

0. B. Curvin of Alexandria Valley and Eu- 
gene Dulaney of Eastaboga Community, Cal- 
houn County, were paid* $175.00 for picking 
350 pounds of kudzu seed pods in eleven 8- 
hour days. At this rate they received a dol- 
lar an hour, or eight dollars a day, each for 
their time. 

The boys in the Vocational Agriculture 
class at Camp Hill High School, Tallapoosa 
County, under the supervision of their teach- 
er, T. M. Pruett, in November, 1945, added 
$100.00 to the treasury of their Future Farm- 
ers of America chapter by picking 315 
pounds of kudzu seed pods. The area from 
which the seed pods were harvested was esti- 
mated to be three acres, making the seed 
worth $33.33 per acre, and the only labor in- 
volved was for picking. The boys received 
$1.12 per hour for their labor. 



Booby Traps In Farming 

AGRICULTURAL workers are advising 
veterans inexperienced in farming to try 
working for at least a year, to pick up the 
skills and practical experience essential for 
success in farming. Veterans are also warn- 
ed to beware of many "booby traps" con- 
fronting them. 
These include: 

"Do not buy a farm until you have talked 
over your plans with the County Agricultural 
Agent and the County Agricultural Defense 
Committee. They can help you avoid booby 
trap farms. 

"Do not buy a farm until you have enough 
money to pay down, and to equip and operate 
it without going too heavily in debt. 

"Do not buy a farm until you have plenty 
of farm experience. 

"Do not buy a farm unless you have a wife 
who knows from farm experience that she 
wants to live on a farm. 

"Do not buy a farm at inflated land values. 

"Do not buy a farm unless you know that

By D. G. STURKIE, Agronomist 
Agricultural Experiment Station 

JOHNSON grass is one of our most desirable 
forage plants and is used extensively in 
the Black Belt of Alabama both for hay and 
for grazing. It is also a pest in that it is a 
weed in cultivated fields. In some cases it 
becomes such a pest that it is necessary to 
abandon the field or to take steps to eradi- 
cate the grass. 

Studies made by the Alabama Agricultural 
Experiment Station show that Johnson grass 
can be easily eradicated. Extensive experi- 
ments were conducted with the life history 
and growth of Johnson grass. Results show- 
ed that Johnson grass developed root stocks 
chiefly after July 1. It is by these root stocks 
that it lives over until the next year. An- 
other discovery is that these root stocks do 
not live more than one year. In other words, 
an old root stock will send up shoots and 
produce plants and these plants in turn will 
develop new root stocks. The root stock de- 
velopment is largely in proportion to the 
growth of the tops made from* July until frost. 
Therefore, any attempt to eradicate Johnson 
grass should be begun about the first of July 
and continued until frost. 

How It Is Done 

As a result of these investigations, the Sta- 
tion began control studies. Experiments were 
conducted on sandy soil at Auburn and on a 
heavy clay soil at Gastonburg. The results 
showed that by plowing or hoeing to keep 
down the top growth from July until frost, 



Johnson grass was completely eradicated. In 
these studies, no particular advantage was 
gained from cultivation or hoeing before 
July. Plots plowed from July until frost 
were as free from Johnson grass the follow- 
ing year as those plowed from April until 
frost. The extra months of cultivation were 
of no value. 

To eradicate the Johnson grass, it should 
never be allowed to reach a height of more 
than 12 inches. In some cases it may be 
necessary to cultivate every two weeks. In 
others the cultivation period may be as long 
as three or four weeks, depending on the 
weather. A safe rule to follow is to cultivate 
or hoe the grass as soon as it gets a few inches 
tall. 

A good system to use is to cut the Johnson 
grass for hay in late summer, and plow in 
early September and plant to oats. The oats 
the next spring may then be cut for grain or 
for hay. After the oats are removed, the 
land is plowed and kept plowed until frost. 
If the Johnson grass is in a small spot, it may 
be cut frequently by hoeing to prevent any 
growth from July until frost. 



We're Eating More 

THAT promise we all make to help save 
food for starving millions is forgotten 
just at the wrong time — when we sit down 
to our three "squares" every day. 

We have no pangs of conscience when we 
put away meals many times larger and more 
healthful than someone 4000 miles away is 
getting. The fact is that we are eating about 
14 per cent more than we ate in 1935-39. 

The way to save food is make that tummy 
as sympathetic as your heart.

Can 12 Quarts Of Food 



By LAVADA CURTIS 
Specialist, Food Preservation 



EOPLE in Europe and Asia need food. We 
have been asked to help feed starving 
millions. Our government has taken immed- 
iate action, but every citizen of the United 
States must help if we are to prevent mass 
starvation. The duty of the American family 
is to cut food waste and produce and con- 
serve food. 

4-H Club girls can share in this worthy 
cause by canning fruits, vegetables and meats 
to be used by their families. There are 61,000 
4-H Club girls in Alabama. If each one can- 
ned 12 quarts of food, this would amount to 
732,000 quarts and would be a saving of 
$292,800.00. You will gain two ways, t'o help 
prevent a world crisis and to save food for 
the family. 

The 4-H slogan is "Can twelve quarts of 
food." 



It Saved His Soil 

"npHE soil conservation practices that were 
1 established on my farm in accordance 
with my district farm plan before I entered 
the Navy saved many tons of soil that would 
otherwise have washed away during my ab- 
sence," commented Marvin Grizzard of Cull- 
man County, who recently returned from 
duty with the United States Navy. 
_ "While many miles from home it was a 
comfort for me to know that the lespedeza 
sericea and kudzu on my farm in meadows, 
on steep slopes and around field borders, 
along with a well designed .terracing system, 
were doing a good job in holding my soil in 
my absence with little attention from those 
operating the farm," he continued. "Now that 
I'm back, I'm going to give that sericea and 
kudzu a well deserved application of ferti- 
lizer." 



Bad Thing To Do 

IT is a bad practice to plant alfalfa on land 
where oats or vetch has been harvested 
for seed. Reason : Shattered seed will come 
up and damage the alfalfa. 



Pockets That Serve 

By LEVICE B. ELLIS 
A.P.I. Extension Specialist, Clothing and Handicraft 

POCKETS may be for service and should be 
practical as well as decorative. House 
dresses, aprons, play suits and garden or 
work clothes will be more convenient and 
satisfactory if pockets are made fully useful. 

On the skirt, pockets should be placed 
where the hands slip in naturally without 
fumbling for the opening. Many pockets on 
readymade dresses and patterns are too high. 
Because arms differ in length, the location 
of the pocket needs to be tried out before 
final stitching is done. A patch pocket is 
more accessible to the hand if the top is slant- 
ed down toward the side rather than cut 
straight across. Slanted pockets placed com- 
fortably low on skirts are not only more con- 
venient but also safer, because they are less 
likely to catch on handles and doornobs. 

The primary purpose of a pocket is to hold 
and carry. It is suggested, therefore, that 
skirt pockets be roomy enough for a clenched 
fist to go in and out easily. This requires cut- 
ting the pocket large enough and then plac- 
ing it on a loose part of the garment. If plac- 
ed where the dress fits the body closely — 
over the rounded line of hips or bust, for 
example — the curves of the body will fill out 
the pocket and any article forced in, even a 
handkerchief, will make an unattractive 
bulge and strain the garment. 

To make pockets durable, reinforce top 
corners where the greatest strain comes. A 
strip of tape, basted on the underside of the 
dress across the top pocket line, can be stitch- 
ed on with the pocket to give corner strength. 
A double row of stitching across the top of 
the pocket itself gives added strength against 
pull at this point.

Don't Get Hurt 

MORE farm folks are accidentally killed 
in their homes than in any other place. 
A recent survey indicated that 6,000 farm 
people were killed in household accidents in 
one year as compared to 4,300 deaths of 
farmers while at work. The annual agricul- 
tural death rate per 100,000 population is 
23. This makes agriculture rank fourth 
among industrial groups in death rates. 



Favorite Vegetables 

WHAT are the favorite garden vege- 
tables? A sample survey by the Bureau 
of Agricultural Economics lists the following 
seven vegetables as favorites: tomatoes, 
string or wax beans, onions, lettuce, radishes, 
beets, and carrots. Questioned in the survey, 
relatively few gardeners reported plans to 
stop gardening because the war was over.

practice to get a new kind of tree or shrub. 



Dog Ticks Health Hazard 

^vNE insect that likes to dwell by the side 
of the road but is no friend to man is 
the American dog tick — also known as the 
wood tick, which is widely distributed over 
the country east of the Rockies. This serious 
pest of dogs is a health hazard to humans, 
because it carries dread Rocky Mountain 
spotted fever. In many parts of the United 
States it is most active in spring and early 
summer. 

For a number of years entomologists of the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture have been 
studying the habits of this dangerous pest to 
learn the best methods of controlling it. One 
general observation, confirmed by recent 
studies, is that ticks are most numerous along 
the sides of roads and paths. 

Entomologists believe the scent of dogs and 
other animals, humans included probably, 
draws these insects to roadsides. 

Whatever the reason, this preference for 
roadsides makes it easier to control ticks by 
spraying. A large percentage of ticks in an 
area may be killed simply by spraying plants 
along roads and paths every few days during 
the height of the tick season. One treatment 
that has been found effective is a nicotine 
sulphate and soap spray used every few days. 
This is not injurious to plants. A spray that 
does not need to be used so often because it 
has a more lasting effect is an emulsion of 
DDT in soluble pine oil in water. This also 
is not harmful to plants if used in the recom- 
mended proportions. Full particulars about 
these sprays, and other methods of controlling 
dog ticks, may be had from the U. S. Depart- 
ment of Agriculture, Washington 25, D. C, 
or from state experiment stations. 

Fences 

Stretching Barbed Wire 

FIRST fasten stretcher securely, both to the 
anchor post and to the wire. 
Always watch the tension of the wire. This 
is mighty important with rusted 
wire. Wire usually breaks near 
the stretcher. 

Straighten kinks. They cause 
the weak spots in the wire. 

Never stretch wire without 
first loosening the staples or 
post fasteners so the stretch will 
be uniform. 

Don't allow anyone to stand 
t » near the wire being stretched, 

or immediately behind the stretcher. The 
wire may break. 

Never place staples in your mouth. You 
might swallow them or fall and injure your 
mouth. 

Wear sturdy leather gloves to protect your 
hands. 

Apply first aid to even minor scratches. 
Don't neglect puncture wounds.

ADAPTOR 




Many farm families make the mistake of selling their old lamps to antique hunters at very low prices. 
Instead of doing this they are being advised to get either good prices for them or else convert them into 
good, attractive lamps. Old kerosene lamps can easily be converted into modern electric lamps for a few 
cents. Local 5 and 10's or hardware stores carry simple gadgets for converting these lamps as illustrated: 

Step 1 — Old kerosene lamp. 

Step 2 — Remove chimney, wick and burner. Screw in adaptor screw on socket and switch, holder for 
diffusing bowl, then place diffusing bowl in place. 

Step 3 — Electric lamp assembled, using opaque shade over diffusing bowl. 



Electricity On Lamar Farm 

A T the February meeting of the Lamar 
County Council of Agricultural Workers, 
a program of adequate wiring was set up as 
a specific objective to work on during 1946. 
Annie Laurie Crawley, assistant home agent, 
was made county chairman of this objective. 

In each of the 14 community organizations, 
one or more individual homes were selected 
by the group to serve as models or demonstra- 
tors. The model home is to install a good wir- 
ing system to demonstrate adequate, conven- 
ient, and yet economical wiring to others in 
the community. 

Representatives of the REA Co-op and the 
Alabama Power Company, along with the ex- 
tension workers, visited each demonstrator's 
home and helped him plan the wiring both 
inside and outside. An estimated cost is giv- 
en the demonstrator who in turn makes the 
contract on that basis. 

In some cases the demonstration home al- 
ready has electricty. Here plans are made for 
enlarging and adding wiring where needed. 

Later this year, after the wiring is com- 
pleted, the community groups will meet in 
their respective "model" homes and discuss 
and examine carefully this wiring system. 
Educational meetings of farm and home 
groups will be held and 4-H Victoriaide 
groups will also meet during the summer to 
go over these plans. 

New Vine Harvester 

A sweetpotato vine harvester that may 
/\ prove to be a cheap and easy means of 
saving the vines of this crop for feed has 
been devised by U. S. Department of Agricul- 
ture engineers. 

Tested in the field for the last two crop 
seasons, the new vine harvester is reported 
both inexpensive to build and simple to op- 
erate. It will harvest vines at the rate of a 
half acre an hour and in a heavy crop from 
10 to 20 tons a day can be harvested with a 
light tractor. 



New Slobolt Lettuce 

ONE of the most up-and-coming new vege- 
tables is Slobolt lettuce, so named be- 
cause it is slow to "bolt" seed stems in warm 
weather. 

Developed through 10 years of breeding 
and selection by U. S. Department of Agri- 
culture scientists, non-heading, long-standing, 
Slobolt bolts 2 to 4 weeks slower than ordi- 
nary leafy kinds, and produces wrinkled, 
frilled, lightgreen leaves. It produces usable 
leaves three weeks longer than such well- 
known commercial leaf lettuce varieties as 
Grand Rapids, Black Seeded Simpson, and 
Prize Head. 

Slobolt also makes a good fall crop from 
midsummer plantings. The plants are of 
moderate size and the seeds are black.

Claus basis. Normally Santa comes once a 
year, not every day as some now want and 
expect of government. 

Among major functions of government are 
these : 

(1) Enact and enforce laws that protect 
and benefit alike those who work and those 
who employ. 

(2) Enact and enforce laws that invite 
money to work with reasonable safety. 

(3) Enact and enforce laws that keep 
men and money working together on a friend- 
ly and mutually-helpful basis. 

(4) Enact and enforce laws for the best 
system of public education, public health, 
highways, public buildings, and other things. 

Such laws are essential to full employ- 
ment of people at good wages with security; 
and also to sound investment of money with 
safety and security. 

Tractors Are Snowballing 

THE use of farm machinery has snowballed 
in recent years. There were less than 
1,000,000 tractors on farms in 1930, more 
than 1,600,000 in 1939, and slightly over 
2,000,000 in 1945. The end is not yet. The 
chances are that there will be more than 2,- 
500,000 by 1950. 



Farm Fire Insurance 

By BEN F. ALVORD, Agricultural Economist 
Agricultural Experiment Station 

ALABAMA farmers, in general, choose to 
take fire losses as they come rather than 
to pay for them annually at what they believe 
to be high insurance rates. 

Based on the national average, fire losses 
to Alabama farmers amount to $3,000,000 
a year, or $2.17 per farm person. Little of 
this loss is covered by insurance, according 
to a study of farm fire losses in the State made 
by the Agricultural Experiment Station, A. P. 
I. 

Farmers' mutual fire insurance companies 
reported that their insurance in force during 
1940 amounted to seven-tenths of one per 
cent of the value of insurable farm property 
(dwellings, buildings, machinery, and live- 
stock). On the other hand, insurance cov- 
erage of farm property for the same year 
in the United States was 70 per cent of its 
total value. Thus, the percentage of cover- 
age of farm property was 100 times greater 
than that of Alabama. 

Better Building Insured 

In this study, it appears that the farmers' 
interest in insurance, in general, varies with 
the values of insurable items. The 600 farm- 
ers cooperating in the study and represent- 
ing all counties reported farm dwellings to be 
the most frequently damaged or destroyed by 
fire, to be the most costly of the farms' build- 
ings, and to be the most frequently insured. 
Farm buildings of low valuation were less 
frequently insured than those of higher value. 

Rates Are High 

A majority of the 600 farmers were of the 
opinion that insurance rates were too high. 
However, some thought it desirable to carry 
insurance, and kept their insurance in force 
in spite of higher rates. The general belief 
about higher insurance cost is borne out by 
a comparison of rates. The cost of farm fire 
insurance in the United States was 25 cents 
per $100 of insurance during the 1937-41 
period. Farmers' mutual fire insurance com- 
panies in Alabama reported a cost of nearly 
30 cents, even though farm fire losses were 
lower than those in the country as a whole. 
These losses amounted to nearly 12 cents per 
$100 of insurance as compared to 17 cents 
for the United States. 

On the other hand, the expense of com- 
pany operation and of insuring property in 
Alabama was more than double that of the 
United States during the same 5-year period. 
This explains why Alabama farm fire insur- 
ance costs were 20 per cent higher than the 
national average. Operating expenses of mu- 
tual companies in Alabama for 1940 amount- 
ed to nearly 18 cents per $100 of insurance, 
whereas this cost was only a little over 8 cents 
for the country as a whole. However, farm- 
ers' mutual fire insurance companies are re- 
ported to be keeping their present insurance 
costs well below the average costs of com- 
mercial companies. 

How Reduce Costs 

The greatest need is fire prevention. If 
fire losses can be reduced by greater precau- 
tion and better building construction, then 
insurance costs can be lowered. Competition 
for farm fire insurance business and divi- 
dend-sharing by policy holders also would 
help to reduce insurance costs. Another possi- 
bility is some type of cooperative risk-shar- 
ing, such as a farm mutual, with careful local 
supervision of membership.

Gardens, Orchards and Insect 
Control 

( by W. A. Ruffin ) 

1. Concentrate on fall gardens. 
Rutabagas and tomatoes must be 
planted this month. 

2. Have you weeded your straw- 
berry patch? 

3. Watch for boll weevils and 
aphids on cotton. Don't forget pea- 
nuts. Advise me if any velvet bean 
caterpillars are found in your 
county. 

4. Watch for screwworms. Tell 
farmers about the use of SMEAR 
62. 

5. Continue to spray livestock, 
barns, and poultry houses for the 
control of flies and, mosquitoes. 
Use a wettable powder that con- 
tains fifty per rent DDT. The 
proper mixture is two pounds in 
five gallons of water. 

Clothing and Handicraft 

( Levice B. Ellis ) 

1. Many plastic yard fabrics are 
appearing on the market, used for 
shower curtains, raincapes, etc. 
Machine stitch with fine needle 
(size 11), light tension, light pres- 
sure, mercerized thread, and long 
stitch is advisable. 

2. Basic style restrictions, which 
means length and sweep of skirts 
and dresses, on women's and child- 
ren's apparel, will be kept in 
force at least until August, there- 
by saving fabric and preventing 
drastic style changes. 

3. Textile and clothing produc- 
tion is up to 42 million pairs of 
shoes per month, 30 million pairs 
of nylons monthly, 779 million 
yards of cotton and 149 million 
yards of rayon cloth. 

4. OPA has set aside certain 
cotton fabrics — drill, twills, and 
sateens for work clothes. 

5. Renovate old garments for 
July and August weather by add- 
ing the new loose, short sleeve to 
dresses, and shorten sleeves for 
shirts. 

Dry Valley Club Organized 

Nine women of the Dry Valley 
community gathered at the home of 
Mrs. A. T. Lucas to organize a 
home demonstration club. The 
following officers were elected : 
President, Mrs. L. B. Clark; Vice 
President, Mrs. A. T. Lucas; Sec- 
retary and Treasurer, Mrs. G. H. 
Mitchell;' Reporter, Mrs. F. C. 
Kendrick, and Song Leader, Mrs. 
Joe Clark. 

The following committee chair- 
men were selected: Mrs. J. D. Mad- 
dox. Recreational and Program ; 
Clothing and Handicraft, Mrs. R. S. 
Anderson ; Home Management and 
House Furnishings, Mrs. Otis Bean; 



Foods and Food Preservation, Mrs. 
Edgar Anderson; Live — at — home, 
Mrs. R. E. Reid, Jr.; Red Cross

Child Care and Family Life, Mrs. 
A. D. Davidson ; Postwar Act- 
ivities, Mrs. Claude Moore; Mark- 
eting, Mrs. L. B. Clark; Commun- 
ity Activities, Mrs. D. T. Lucas ; 
Council Director, Mrs. Burl Mor- 
gan. 

The club will meet on the fourth 
Tuesday in every month at 3 :30 
p. m. 

Horticulture 

1. Fall Irish potatoes should 
always be planted on "fallowed" 
land where possible. Land that has 
not been broken deeply for sever- 
al weeks and has been given occa- 
sional cultivations to keep down 
weeds and grass furnishes best 
germination and growing condi- 
tions. Hot, dry soil may rot the 
seed pieces before they can come 
up. Plant fairly deep and knock 
off the tops of the rows after 
sprouting has started but before 
they reach the top of the ground. 

2. Sweet potato vine cutting 
crops set in June usually profit 
greatly by an application of about 
125 pounds of nitrate of soda a 
month after planting. 

4 — H Project 
When Evelyn Eaves of Columb- 
iana Sr. club was asked what she 
had done on her sewing project in 
4 — H club work, she replied, " I 
have made a pinafore, blouse, two 
dresses and an apron." She has 
selected improving her dining room 
as another project and has plans 
for the work to begin soon. Evelyn 
is going to refinish the furniture in 
her dining room, cover chair seats, 
paper the walls and paint the wood 
work. 

Evelyn does a good job caring 
for the yards, keeping a flower 
garden and has canned beans, 
English peas. Chili sauce and jelly 
this summer.

Wallhide is a real oil-base — a Vita- 
lized Oil-base — paint. The use of 
Vitolized oil results in controlled pen- 
etration. Instead of soaking into the 
surface as in the case of ordinary 
wall paints, Vitolized oil stays in the 
film, to keep it Live, tough and elastic. 
One coat covers any surface, and a 
Wallhide film cleans easily and with- 
stands repeated washing without mar- 
ring its beauty. It goes on easily, 
dries quickly, making possible One 
Day Painting.

THERE ARE REASONS 
GALORE, BUDDY 

A friend wants to know why 
we don't print so and so, and so 
and so. One reason is that we 
have a hankering to live a while 
longer. There are plenty of other 
reasons. First of all, we don't 
print everything we know because 
it wouldn't do any good. On the 
other hand it would do much harm. 
If we printed all we knew there 
would be twenty divorces where 
there is now one. 

There would be social ostracisms 
of many who now shine in the up- 
perdom. 

There would be lynching bees. 

There would b e hatchet parties, 
shotgun weddings and matinees, 
gore, imprisonment, desolation and 
mlisery. 

Many people continually find 
fault with the newspapers, when 
as a matter of fact they owe their 
very standing in the community to 
the editorial wastebasket. 

Yea, buddy, we have people in 
his town that don't like us one 
little bit. If we were minded to do 
so we could ruin them overnight 
with absolute facts about their 
daily life, but we'd much rather 
they go right on disliking us than 
to take that unfair advantage of 
them. — The Covington News. 



Farm Bureau Picnic 

The Shelby County Farm Bureau 
has set its annual meeting, bar- 
becue and picnic for Wednesady, 
July 24, 1946, at Calera High 
School, Calera, Alabama. This is a 
fine place to have a meeting with 
a big auditorium and grove on the 
school ground. We feel like every 
Farm Bureau member should make 
his plans to bring family and enjoy 
the day of information, inspiration 
and recreation. The Farm Bureau 
leaders are working out a program 
that we feel everybody will enjoy. 



Masons Celebrate 
With Barbecue 

Celebration of the 101st Anniver- 
sary of Central Lodge No. 70, A. F. 
and A. M., of Montevallo, was held 
Wednesday with a barbecue and 
picnic at the country estate of Mr. 
Moon Mullen, near Montevallo. 

Members of the Lodge with their 
wives and family members, together 
with many visiting Masons, attend- 
ed. 

Music was furnished by the 
Montevallo High School Band, at 
the picnic grounds in a beautiful 
meadow on the Mullen place. 

Dr. T. H. Napier opened the pro- 
gram by outlining the history of 
Central Lodge. He introduced Judge 
Hugh Locke, of Birmingham, who 
made the address of the occasion. 

Every body had a grand time. 
Even the rain did not dampen the 
spirits of the people in attendance, 
nor did it seem to interfere much 
with their appetites for barbecue 
meat and brunswick stew. 



Mrs. Walton and children of 
Columbiana visited Mr. and Mrs.

WHAT ALABAMA NEEDS! . . . 

— is a man in the 
Senate who can 

GET THINGS DONE! 

— in spite of red tape, 

— in spite of bureaucracy! 

WHAT ALABAMA NEEDS! . . . 

— is a man in the Senate who'll 
carry on the Farm Policies of the 
late, beloved John H. Bankhead! 

Frank W. Boykin 

is the man! 

This Alabama Farm Boy w ho has made good, is a Methodist, a 32nd 
Degree Mason, a Shriner, an, Elk, a Moose and a member of the 
Woodmen of the World and Order of the Eastern Star. 

Veterans Legislation— without a single exception — has had the sup- 
port and vote of Congressman Boykin, He advocates the removal 
of entangling red tape from the handling of Veteran's affairs. 

The Tennessee-Tombigbee Project and the Alabama-Coosa Project 
have both had Frank Boy kin's untiring efforts behind them! The 
first named project is virtually assured while operations have al- 
ready begun on the second. 

Federal Aid for Education in Alabama has had the ardent support of 
Frank Boykin in Congress. However, he insists on state control of 
Nuch funds to insure ADEQUATE SALARIES for ALABAMA 
SCHOOL TEACHERS! 

Farm to Market Roads and legislation beneficial to the farmers have 
had Frank Boykin's unswerving devotion. Every piece of Farm 
Legislation favored or sponsored by John H. Bankhead in the Sen- 
ate has been pushed by Boykin in the House. 

Government Financing for Farm Homes is strongly advocated by 
Frank Boykin. He believes in giving the Farmer the same low-cost 
financing for home construction enjoyed by city dwellers. 

Federal Old Age Assistance has had the ardent support of Frank 
Boykin from the beginning. In the Senate he will have an im- 
proved opportunity to push it through. 

The FEPC discriminates against the South . Frank Boykin opposes 
this measure UNLESS and UNTIL features damaging to our 
Southern economy are removed. 

Feed Alabama and America FIRST is Frank Boykin's policy. After 
our essential needs are met, then we can feed the rest of the world.

County to do their canning, we 
hope that you can produce veget- 
ables and meats and take advant- 
age of this fine opportunity to can 
and preserve your foods. The farm 
people may can large quantities 
of vegetables, fruits and meats in 
a very short time instead of days 
by canning at home with pressure 
cookers or other equipment for 
home canning. It is still plenty of 
time to grow practically any veg- 
etables that farmers may want to 
can and we hope that you will 
take advantage of this great opp- 
ortunity before the season is over. 
If there was ever a time that farm 
people should can and preserve a 
supply of food, it is this year. If 
we can be of service in your food 
production and preservation pro- 
gram, call on us. 



Field Trip By Workshop In 
Resource-Use Education 

On Friday, June 28, a bus load 
of women and girls from Alabama 
College stopped in Columbiana long 
enough to pick up A. A. Lauder- 
dale, County Farm Agent, and Mr. 
B. F. Hatchett of the Soil Con- 
servation Service, to accompany 
them on a field trip over Shelby 
County. The group were particular- 
ly interested in soil conservation, 
cover crops and pasturage. 

There were eleven counties re- 
presented by the group, with thirty 



from the Workshop in Resource- 
Use Education and ten from the 
class in Elements of Geography. 
Miss Ethel Marshall, assistant 
director, and Miss Mary S. Butler, 
consultant in writing for the work- 
shop, directed the group. 

Mr. Lauderdale and Mr. Hatch- 
ett first stopped at a pasture near 
Calera where the low, wet soil had 
been made into a splendid pasture 
by the use of white Dutch clover 
mixed with grasses. Next the 
group were taken to the farm of 
Bennett Smith near Columbiana, 
where many features, showing in- 
telligent use of modern farming 
methods, were seen. Mr. Smith 
explained the use of kudzu as hay, 
as grazing, and as a soil builder. 
Next the group saw an example of 
Nichols terracing and fine stand 
of corn. 

The Workshop group went as 
far as Wilsonville on this field 
trip, visiting other farms, both 
large and small, and seeing per- 
manent pastures in the building. 
Students and teachers from Shelby 
County making the trip were Will- 
ie B. Lucas, Calera. Lora J. Mer- 
rell, Shelby, Effie Sims, Columb- 
iana and Virginia Sims, Booth- 
ton.

"Millions Appropriated for 

Extension of Electric Service* 




JuOR the extension and improvement of electric service in 1946, we 
appropriated eight million dollars and placed orders for the necessary- 
equipment and materials to do the job. We have the money to do 
the job. We have the desire to do it. We are doing it — but, although 
many new services were connected during the first five months of 
this year, we're behind schedule. Not because we want to be. Shortages 
of materials, electrical and transportation equipment and a continuing 
shortage of men with the special skills required in the extension of 
electric service are still preventing us from extending electric service 
promptly to all who want it. 

If you could spend a day in our executive, purchasing, engineering 
and construction departments, you'd see that everything possible is 
being done to speed up delivery of materials and equipment. 



We want to write "customer" after your name 
instead of "applicant for service." We're just as 
eager to have your business as you are to have 
electric service. 

There is no shortage of electricity. We have 
power plants to supply all the power needed by 
present and prospective customers, and there'll still 
be ample reserve capacity.

THE MONTEVALLO TIMES 



MONTEVALLO, ALABAMA 



Last year in Alabama death 
claimed 65,000 head of cattle, or 
live per cent of the total number 
on farms. API extension livestock 
specialists say that more careful 
management and better feeding 
will reduce this figure greatly. 



Cash income from cattle and calf 
sold in the state totaled $22,724,000 
last year, $3,154,000 over 1944's fi- 
gure. But hog sales amounting to 
$19,911,000 decreased $3,627,000 from 
1944.

Shortages are 
holding him 




We in Southern Bell have been adding telephones at the 
rcte of 350,000 a year. But shortages have been growing 
worse, and now it's harder and harder for us to get ma- 
terials for manufacturing and building. 

V/e aren't complaining for we are in the same boat as 
everyone else. But we thought you might like to know the 
supply situation on some of the biggest items in the tele- 
phone business. 



LEAD — There is a world shortage 
of lecd. Even when conditions here 
straighten out, it will be some 
time before adequate supplies are 
available. 

COPPER — In great demand but we 
will probably hove adequote sup- 
plies when the smelting, refining 
end fabricating plants get going. 

TEXTILES — Serious shortage of 
cotton and synthetic yarns and 
fabrics, with demand greatly ex- 
ceeding supply. 

STEEL — Steel and coal strikes hare 



affected supply in face Of Un- 
precedented demand. 

RUBBER— Synthetics are in fair 
supply but natural rubber is on 
Government allocation. 

LUMBER — Scarce supply due to 
unprecedented demand and dislo- 
cation of lumber trade. 

BRASS MILL PRODUCTS — Used in 
Central Office switches and other 
telephone equipment. Supply will 
be short until disturbed conditions 
are settled in the copper industry, 
permitting brass mills to get back 
to full-scale production. 



It's a tough situation, but we aren't giving up, any more 
than you have given up trying to get butter or shirts. 

We're doing the best we can with what we've got and 
hoping these disturbed conditions will end, so we can really 
go full speed ahead.

were retired via the strike-out 
route. Leading hitters for Monte- 
vallo were Ed Lucas with 2 singles 
and a double and Baumgartner with 
3 successive singles.^ 

Wednesday afternoon Montevallo 
was host to the Royal Cleaners 
team of Bessemer and again heavy 
hitting gave the locals a rather one 
sided decision. 15 to 8. Montevallo 
collected 16 hits good for 15 runs 
in the game cut to 7 innings to 
allow Bessemer players to return to 
their jobs. Leading Montevallo bats- 
men were Baker with a single, a 
double and 2 home runs in 4 times 
at bat, Lovelady with a single, a 
double and a triple in 4 times and 
Southern with 2 singles and a 
double in 4 times to the plate. 

The Royal Cleaners will return to 
Montevallo July 31, and bring their 
entire squad to give the local team 
more competition and the spectators 
a good show. Their manager was 
ihe center of attraction with his 
"Nick Altrock" clowning and antics. 

It now appears that the next 
home game will be July 28 with the 
opponent to be announced next 
week. 



Student Nurses 
Needed At Hospital 
In Tuscaloosa 

Tt was only 15 years ago that a 
woman with a college degree and 
more than 5. years teaching experi- 
ence in Alabama public schools was 
not accepted as a student in Ala- 
bama schools of nursing. This 
practice is ancient history. Alabama 
schools of nursing are coming to 
the front and realizing their oppor- 
tunities in nursing education. 

The Druid City Hospital School 
of Nursing is seeking women with 
college preparation to enter her 
school of nursing in September, 
1946. The college woman with 
teaching experience is needed in 
nursing as a classroom teacher, 
and for supervising and clinical 
teaching in the hospital. This school 
of nursing is affiliated with : 

1. Louisiana State University, and 
Charity Hospital, New Orleans : 
Tulane Medical School Teaching 
Hospital. 

2. The University of Alabama, for 
basic sciences in nursing. 

3. The Children's Hospital, Birm- 
ingham, for Pediatrics. 

Recent high school graduates are 
admitted to the Druid City Hospital 
School of Nursing. They are at once 
admitted to the University of Ala- 
bama to study courses in anatomy 
and physiology, biology, chemistry, 
psychology, foods, nutrition and 
dietetics, bacteriology. The student 
pursues these courses for college 
credit, and makes a real start to- 
ward her college degree in nursing. 
She receives credit for all courses 
successfully completed at the Uni- 
versity.

W. L. Brown Speaks 
To Rotary Club 

Mr. W. L. Brown, chairman of 
the Shelby County Board of Reve- 
nue spoke to the Montevallo Mer- 
chants Association Tuesday night 
on the paving project for the Siluria 
Montevallo Road. 

Mr. Brown told the association 
that the county officials had com- 
pleted all details required of them, 
and are awaiting further develop- 
ment from State and Federal au- 
thorities. He further explained the 
reason for the proect not being in- 
cluded on the list o fjuly road bids. 
This was due to the fact that no 
federal inspector had inspected the 
project, however since that time an 
inspector has completed this work, 
and county officials have resonable 
assurance that the bid will be in- 
cluded in the August bids.

Alabama College Offers Four Year 
Course In Retail Merchandising 



RED CROSS MEETING 

R. M. Cleckler, Chairman, Shel- 
by County Chapter, American Red 
Cross, requests that every person 
residing within Shelby County who 
has paid Red Cross membership 
dues within a year or who is a life 
or patron member attend the chap- 
ter's annual meeting on Monday 
evening, July 29, at 8 :00 o'clock at 
the Shelby County Court House, 
Columbiana. Officers for the next 
year will be elected at this time 
and other business wall come be- 
fore the meeting. 



A four year retail course offered 
in the Home Economics Depart- 
ment with the cooperatino of the 
Art Department at Alabama College 
for Women, Montevallo. has 35 
young women enrolled for 1947, for 
down South, too, young women are 
going into department stores for 
careers. The college, which was 
founded by Alabama in 1896. origin- 
ally offered training whereby wo- 
men could become self-suporting, 
but the retail department came 
much later. In 1931 one student ap- 
plied for a course in retailing and 
in the following year preparations 
for giving such a course started. 
Josephine F. Eddy, associate pro- 
fessor of home economics in charge 
of Retail Merchandising, attended 
Columbia University, took the 
course in retail merchandising under 
Dr. Paul Nystrom and then return- 
ed to Montevallo to develop the 
teaching of retailing at Alabama 
College. In building the course Miss 
Eddy sought the cooperation of 
two prominent stores of the South ; 
Loveman, Joseph and Loeb in Bir- 
mingham, Alabama, and Davison, 
Paxon Co., Atlanta, Georgia. The 
top management in both of these 
stores, of course, agreed to work 
with the college in its new teaching 
proect. 

Originally a part of the Home 
Economics Department, the Retail 
Course is now also closely allied 
with the Art Department which 
can offer the student history of art 
history and understanding of line 
and color. At present, the Retail 
Course at Alabama College is the 
only one in the country which 
teaches retailing under both home 
economics and art influence. 

Basic Training 

As the course Is offered today 



certain studies of textiles, costume 
history and fashion economics are 
mandatory. In addition to this re- 
quired work students can then 
specialize in clothing or dress de- 
sign, interior decorating or the 
study of foods, according to indi- 
vidual wishes. To the specialized 
subjects the students may also add 
a course in written English, or 
secretarial or in personnel duties. 

As a freshman, a student studies 
her own personality in relation to 
clothes and learns to put other 
people at ease. During the junior 
year she spends sixteen of her Sat- 
urdays selling merchandise at Love- 
man, Joseph and Loeb in Birming- 
ham. Close contact is maintained 
between the store and the college 
during this period so that the de- 
velopment of each girl is watched 
analyzed and weaknesses overcome. 
At the same time, the practical ex- 
perience reveals those students who 
have no aptitude for retail work 
and these are then advised to drop 
the course. 

During the senior year, the stud- 
ents work in Atlanta, Georgia, at 
both Davison, Paxon Co. and Rich's 
Inc., from the 10th of October 
through Christmas. During this 
work period the students sell in a 
variety of departments. 

In Job Training 

Since 1944 the stores of Atlanta 
have held interesting classes in job 
training which the Alabama College 
girls have taken along with other 
employees. Due to the specialized 
training these students usually 
demonstrate superior capabilities, 
while they work their way toward 
better knowledge of retail merchan- 
dising. 




Representative Boy kin, of Mo- 
bile, Congressman from the First 
Alabama District will speak at 
Montevallo at 10 A.M. and Colum- 
biana at 2 P.M. o'clock on Monday 
July 22, in the interest of bis 
candidacy for the U. S. Senate.

CORRECTION 

In the story of Miss Sara Cook's 
marriage in last weeks Times, it 
was stated that she is the "daugh- 
ter of Mrs. James Kennedy and 
the late Mr. Cook." This should 
have read "daughter of Mrs. 
James Kennedy Cook and the late 
Mr. Cook." The Times apologizes 
for this error and takes this means 
of setting the record straight.

Winter Grazing Crops 

Winter grazing crops and live- 
stock, these two just naturally go 
together. Wherever you find one 
you should find the other. This is 
so because winter grazing crops 
make livestock pay off. Here is why 
these crops mean money in your 
pocket. 

1. You save feed when your ani- 
mals have plenty of green grazing 
in winter. 

2. You save the labor of gather- 
ing these crops. The cattle do their 
own harvesting. 

3. Your milk cows produce more, 
beef cattle and pigs gain faster and 
all animals are healthier. 

4. You can save seed for use on 
the farm as well as for sale. 

Crimson clover and rye grass 
make the best grazing but crimson 
clover can be grown alone or with 
oats, barley or wheat. 

If the land is not already turned 
it can be turned, harrowed 
thoroughly, even if it takes 2 or 3 
cuttings. The fertilizer should be 
applied and cut in the last of July 
so the crop can be planted ifr early 
August. 

The fertilizer application may be 
700 pounds basic slag, or 500 pounds 
acid phosphate or 500 pounds 
0-14-10 per acre. After the crop is 
up to a good stand a top dressing 
of 250 pounds nitrate of soda, or 
200 pounds ammonium sulfate, or 
125 pounds ammonium nitrate per 
acre.

BOYKIN Advocates 




Up to now the benefits of the Federal 
Housing Administration (FHA) have 
been reserved for those who live in the 
city or near city water mains. Frank 
Boykin advocates — and will fight for — 
extension of these benefits to cover 
those who live, or would build homes, in 
the rural sections of Alabama. This 
would mean — 



• Low down payments for farm housing 

• Easy monthly payments (payments spread up to 
25 years) 

• 4 1 /2% interest on Federally-Insured Mortgages 




BOYKIN Advocates 




Alabama must have Federal aid for education. Frank 
Boykin advocates — and will fight for — Federal benefits for 
Alabama's school system on a practical, fair basis. Boykin 
will fight to see that this aid is rendered on a plan where Ala- 
bama will retain control of its education. Alabama will decide 
what our children are taught and how they are taught. 

BOYKIN Advocates 

• Removal of red tape in handling veteran's affairs! 

• All Farm Legislation designed to improve the 
farmer's position! 

• Fair distribution of Federal Old Age assistance! 

• All projects which will bring economical gain to 
Alabama! 

Boykin is a leader in Congress — not a "yes man" 
Boykin doesn't merely vote for the Legislation he advocates . . 
Boykin FIGHTS with his every ounce of energy for the leg- 
islation he advocates!

Here's Why People Are Saying 

ALABAMA NEEDS 
A NEW FACE IN WASHINGTON 

Fresh, from the People! 

JIM SIMPSON for the U. S. SENATE 




.86 <JVL.i- 



Needs and aims of folks back home 
can best be presented in the Congress 
by a representative who has stayed 
close to and comes fresh from the 
people of Alabama. 

Many think Congress needs a^ood 
blood transfusion — fresh new blood 
from the veins of the people — to ener- 
gize it into action. They know Jim 
Simpson has vigor, energy, sincerity 
and a truly amazing record for getting 
things done. He will fight for, not 
talk about what Alabama needs.

Montevallo Team 
Wins Three Games 

Out of a fulll schedule of four 
games during the past seven days, 
the Montevallo Independent Base- 
ball team chalked up three more 
wins as against one loss to bring 
its season record to 24 wins and 6 
losses. 

The team visited Siluria Saturday 
and dropped the decision by a score 
of 7 to 3 after leading for seven 
innings. B. Holsemback pitched a 
good game until the eight inning 
when the defense weakened and 
allowed Siluria to forge ahead. 

Sunday saw the locals visiting 
New Hope and piling up the largest 
total of runs of the season in a 
one-sided verdict of 23 to 0. Ray- 
mond Lovelady had to bear down in 
only one inning to preserve his 
shutout. 

On Tuesday the Moore's Cross- 
roads team visited Montevallo and 
engaged the locals in a 7 inning 
practice game which ended in an- 
other victory, 11 to 0, behind the 
pitching of M. Holsemback. 

On Wednesday Montevallo play- 
ed at Calera. Ed. Lucas pitched very 
effectively, scattering 5 Calera sing- 
les and one unearned run. Monte- 
vallo combined 6 hits with several 
walks and good base running to 
score 6 runs and win 6 to 1. 

Luther Reach has received his 
discharge from the Navy and should 
be ready to take his regular turn 
on the mound within a week. Luth- 
er's record of 96 strikeouts in 52 
innings for the High School in the 
spring of 1945 will be remembered 
by many of the fans. 

Columbiana will provide the op- 
position Sunday on the local field 
while Royal Cleaners will play here 
Wednesday. Both should be good 
games so come out and support 
your team.

Dr. Pierson To 
Visit In France 

Dr. Lorraine Pierson, Professor 
of French at Alabama College, is 
sailing for France this week end as 
a guest of the French Government 
which is entertaining a small group 
of American College and university 
Professors of French during the 
months of July and August. Com- 
plete arrangements for the Ameri- 
can representatives have been made 
by the French Government which 
made it possible to obtain passports, 
visas, ration coupons, passage, liv- 
ing quarters abroad, and other 
necessary accommodations. 

All educational facilities in France 
such as libraries, museums and 
archives will be open to the guests, 
and a number of joint conferences 
for American and French educa- 
tional leaders will be held. 



Tommy Johnson's 16-month-old, 
1,000 pound Hereford calf, Toby, 
won the grand champion award in 
the Shelby County calf show held at 
Calera. which entitles Tommy to 
the free prize blooded calf offered 
by The Birmingham News-Age- 
Herald and Radio Station WSGN to 
the winner in home county shows.. 

Only contest rule that governed 
the prize calf given l>y the News- 
Age- Herald and WSGN was that at 
least 10 FFA or 4-H Club entries 
be exhibited in the County show, 
that the county show be held prior 
to the Birmingham Stock Show, and 
that the winner of the county ex- 
hibit enter the Birmingham contest. 

Tommy paid $237 for his blue 
ribbon winner which includes the 
purchase price and the feed cost to 
round him out to the championship 
form that won top honors ever 21 
4-H Club entries. The son of Mr. 
and Mrs. L P. Jchnson, Montevallo, 
Tommy will be in the Senior 1 class 
at the Montevallo High School next 
Fall. He has been a 4-H Club mem 
her for only one vear, and this i: 
the first year he has raised a calf 
to show. 

If this years record is any indi- 
cation of ability to feed out a win- 
ner, other club members who intend 
to compete in the 1947 Shelby Coun- 
ty show and in the big Birming- 
ham Stock Show and Sale to be 
held next year, had better consider 
Tommy as serious competition be- 
cause he plans to show in both 
these contests with at least two 
calves, one of which will be the 
prize calf he will receive this fall. 



Rotary Club To 
Sponsor Lighting Of 
Athletic Field 

The Rotary Club of Montevallo, 
at its weekly meeting last Friday 
night approved the project of light- 
ing the Montevallo High School 
Athletic Field. The project was de- 
signed and presented by the com- 
munity service committee of the 
club. 

Under the approved plan an ath- 
etic advisory board has been 
organized consisting of twelve local 
men and the Montevallo High 
School principal and superintendent. 
It will be the duty of this athletic 
advisory board to supervise the in- 
stallation and use of the lighting 
system. 

The method of raising the requir- 
ed twenty seven hundred dollars is 
to be in the form of a loan from 
patrons and interested persons. 
Certificates of loan are now on 
sale, and may be secured from al- 
most any member of the Rotary 
Club. If additional money is raised 
in this drive it will be possible to 
equip the field for night baseball 
in addition to Softball which may 
be played under ordinary football 
lights. 

If the required amount is made 
available at once it may be possible 
to use the field for night football 
during the coming year.

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC 
FIELD 

The Rotary Club project for light- 
ing the high school athletic field 
is under way. We believe every per- 
son in Montevallo can see the need 
for an athletic field which can be 
used at night. Such a field would 
encourage more interest in our local 
school and possibily even make the 
community take its football as 
seriously as other towns, for in- 
stance, Clanton, Columbiana, Cen- 
terville, West Blocton, and numer- 
ous other small towns througout 
the state and county. 

We are always hearing criticism 
of our high school football and 
athletic program and now every 
person has a chance to do some- 
thing about it. Let's all join in and 
support this drive. It isn't a gift, 
it is anticipated that the program 
will pay for itself, but even if it 
shculdn't we believe it is a worthy 
cause. 



NEWS WRITER VISITS 
MONTEVALLO 

Mr. Jack House of the Birm- 
ingham News and Age-Herald was 
in Montevallo Tuesday. Mr. House 
is at present touring the state for 
the News editing the weekly 
articles on "Know Your State." 
Each week one of Alabama's 
towns is displayed on one page of 
the News with pictures, history, 
and local activities of each town. 

We did not learn if Mr. House 
plans to run an article on Mont- 
evallo, but someone informed us 
that he was attempting to photo- 
graph our City Hall and Police 
Station. We believe someone should 
have accompanied Mr. House on 
his tour of our town, and steered 
him clear of our eyesores. We do 
not believe there is a camera in 
existence that could make a pic- 
ture of our City Hall and Police 
Station which any member of our 
community would be proud to have 
published in the Birmingham 
News. 



Mr. W. M. Wyatt is spending his 
vacation in Baldwin County, Mobile 
and other places in that locality.

UNITED 
STATES 
SENATE 



77iis Man SPARKMAN 

WHO IS HE? 

John Sparkman (a jovial, six-feet-two, 
blue eyed 46-year-old congressman) is 
one of Alabama's most dramatic ex- 
amples of a "self-made man." He was 
born on a Morgan County tenant-farm 
and reared by poor but reverent and 
noble parents. As a FARM BOY HE 
WORKED FROM SUN-UP TO SUN- 
DOWN. Between farm chores he went to a one-room, one- 
teacher country school. 

John was studious and eager to get an 
education in spite of being poor. He 
was a star-pupil in grade school. He 
then walked daily to High School at 
Hartselle, 4 miles away— missing only 
4 days in 4 years! HE STUDIED AT 
HOME BY AN OIL LAMP and grad- 
uated from High School with a 4-year 
average of 98.6 per cent! 




FARM BOY 




BRILLIANT 
STUDENT 




SELF-EDUCATED 



John had a burning (but he thought 
hopeless) desire to go to college. He 
entered - the University of Alabama 
with $75 HIS FATHER BORROWED 
ON JOHN'S COTTON CROP. John 
worked his way through college by 
firing the heating boilers at $4.20 a 
week, and doing other odd jobs. He 
became editor of the college paper, 
president of the student body, an honor student every year 
and as a senior was named by President Denny the STU- 
DENT WHO MEANT MOST TO THE UNIVERSITY! 

I Through college, John became a Y. M. 
C. A. secretary, then a school teacher, 
then a lawyer in Huntsville. His wife 
tformerly Ivo Hall, of AJbertville) 
taught school to help the STRUG- 
GLING YOUNG LAWYER GET 
6TARTED. He was a private in World 
fc . war I, returned home to become 
I adjutant, post commander and service 
I: officer American Legion. 




TEACHES SCHOOL 



) 




10 YEARS IN 
CONGRESS 



In 1936 John made his first political 
campaign, running, for Representative 
in Congress from the 8th District of 
Alabama. He was successful and five 
terms since then he has been returned 
to Congress without opposition, be- 
coming one of the most popular men 
to be elected from any Alabama Dis- 
trict. His ABILITY AND HIS LOYALTY WERE RECOG- 
NIZED IN CONGRESS last December when he was selected 
to serve as Majority Whip, a leadership position in the 
House ranking only behind the Speaker and the Majority 
Leader. 

JOHN SPARKMAN HELPS 

Make Alabama A 
BETTER PLACE TO LIVE! 

John Sparkman has a burning ambition TO MAKE ALA- 
BAMA A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE— as his political record 
shows. By experience he knows the hardships of farmers, 
teachers and all working people. He has fought and will 
continue to fight in Congress to improve the conditions and 
right the wrongs OF THE PLAIN PEOPLE OF ALABAMA. 
That's why John fights for and will continue to fight for 
OP A, TV A, REA, federal aid for education without federal 
control f federal aid for unemployed, the aged, the blind and 
wifortunate; social security, fair prices for farm products, 
Sarm-to-market roads, veterans' aid, housing, and many 
ether forward movements for human rights.

BANKHEAD and BOYKIN fought 
together for Alabama and the Nation! 



BOYKIN 
Will Carry On 




Throughout the years they struggled 
side by side in Washington, Senator 
John Bankhead and Congressman 
Frank Boykin were never content to 
merely cast their ballots on important 
legislation. Bankhead in the Senate and 
Boykin in the House constantly fought 
for legislation affecting Alabama in par- 
ticular, and farmers and labor generally. 

These outspoken colleagues were close friends, planned their strategy 
together, and worked vigorously for the legislation that has meant so 
much to our State and Nation. 

Frank Boykin will carry on the fight that he and Senator 
Bankhead waged together. He offers to the Senate posi- 
tion Experience in Washington legislative matters, plus 
important Influence built up through years of hard, con- 
structive labor. 

FRANK BOYKIN Advocates and will 
continue to fight for 

• Federal Financing for Rural Home Construction! 

• Removal of red tape from handling of Veteran's 
Affairs! 

• Federal Aid for education in Alabama under state 
control! 

• Farm Legislation designed to improve the farmer's 
position! 

• Equable distribution of Federal Old Age assistance! 

• Atl projects which will bring economic gain to Ala- 
bama! 



Frank Boykin does not have to introduce himself in Washington! 
Frank Boykin is already well known in the Capitol — well known as an 
energetic, aggressive legislator — a man to be reckoned with on all im- 
portant matters.

JIM 

SIMPSON 

to the Senate 



fresh from the 
people of 
Alabama 



Two of the candidates now running for the Se nate have 
already served TEN YEARS in Congress. 

During these ten years, Congress has NOT acted on much 
of the vital Legislation which the people of oar State have 
so long sought. 

Both were re-elected to Congress only this past May for 
two year terms. They are now seeking a two year term 

in the Senate. 

Neither has resigned to make the Senate race. If de- 
feated for the Senate, they will keep their job in Con- 
gress. 

Election to the Senate of either of these Congressmen 
would not add any NEW abilities to Congress. It woold 
bring no NEW assurance of getting things done. 

It would mean only that a new and UNTRIED Con- 
gressman would have to he chosen to replace the winner. 

The simple and logical answer is to elect JIM SIMP- 
SON—A NEW FACE FRESH FROM THE FOLKS 
BACK HOME. 

Jim Simpson is a man of ACTION. He ha* a PROVEN 

record for GETTING THINGS DONE.

the last six frames and proved most 
effective allowing but 1 hit. Heavy 
hitters were Henry Winslett with 4 
hits in S times at bat, Ed. Lucas 
■with 3 hits, including a triple, in 5 
times and Davis with a triple in 2 
times at the plate. The cleverest 
play of the afternoon was made by 
Carey when he stole home in the 
5th inning. 

The going proved much more dif- 
ficult Wednesday when the Royal 
Cleaners team made up of players 
from various clubs in the metro- 
politan area of Jefferson County 
wolloped the local team 14 to 6. 

Luther Reach, recently discharg- 
ed from the U. S. Navy, started on 
the mound for Montevallo but was 
unable to hit his stride and was 
tagged for 9 runs and 7 hits before 
being replaced by Eddings after 
three and two-thirds innings. Edd- 
ings and Lovelady pitched well 
enough for the remainder of the 
game but the local batters never 
did find the range except Lovelady 
in the 7th when he clouted one over 
the left field fence for a ground- 
rules double. 

The next two games will be play- 
ed away as follows : Pelham on 
Sunday and Clanton Wednesday, 
August 7. The next home game 
presently scheduled will be with 
Prattville, August 11.

Our Duty To 
The Veterans 

The following statement was 
given The Times this week by the 
Veterans Planning Commission, 
Columbiana : 

Our duty toward the rehabilita- 
tion of our returned World War II 
Veterans is becoming more ap- 
parent every day. 

Thousands of these boys are 
wandering around in circles trying 
to gain a foothold in the present 
civilian industrial work, which is 
so different from what they had 
pictured in their minds while still 
in the service of their country. 

It is true that a great many are 
taking advantage of the "Rocking 
Chair" benefits afforded them under 
the G. I. Bill of Rights, but this 
group is composed of only a little 
over 10 per cent of the total num- 
ber discharged from the armed 
forces from Shelby County. The 
majority of these boys are sincere- 
ly making a diligent effort to find 
suitable work, or on-the-job-train- 
ing with establishments in their 
home community in order that they 
may continue to live at home. This 
attitude is only natural, and it is 
up to every one of us to help these 
veterans in every way that we can. 

If any of you business people 
have an opening where you can use 
a veteran and wish to have your 
establishment certified as a training 
center so that the veteran can learn 
your business under the G. I. Bill 
of Rights Training Program, then 
contact your Veterans' Advisor, 
Selective Service Board No. 2 who 
will advise you how to go about 
getting your business certified as a 
training center. 

If any of you have jobs to offer 
already qualified veterans, then 
notify the U. S. Employment Ser- 
vice, Calera, by post card or tele- 
phone Calera 7771, and place a work 
order for the type of worker you 
want. The great majority of veter- 
ans are registered for work with 
the USES, which stands ready at 
all times to assist unemployed veter- 
ans in finding suitable jobs. 

Will you help in every way you 
can to guide a veteran to help him- 
self? 



ANNUAL FARM BUREAU 
BARBECUE 

Seven hundred farm people rep- 
resenting the Shelby County Farm 
Bureau gathered at the Calera 
School Wednesday, July 24, for the 
annual Farm Bureau barbecue. 

Mr. W. W. Howell, president of 
Shelby County Farm Bureau, pre- 
sided. Rev. J. J. Webb of Calera 
conducted the devotional. Mr. P. O. 
Davis, director of Alabama Ex- 
tension Service made an interest- 
ing talk on Agricultural Practices 
in Alabama. Mr. R. G. Arnold of 
the American Farm Bureau Fed- 
eration explained to the group the 
importance of Farm Bureau in- 
surance. Mrs. J. Frank Baker of 
Dargin Club gave an inspiring talk 
on our Rural Churches. Earl Ir- 
vin, Calera, gave accordion selec- 
tions. 

At noon the group gathered in 
the grove on the school ground for 
lunch. Here two tables were load- 
ed with delicious barbecue, stew, 
pickles, sliced tomatoes, bread and 
tea. Fifteen 4-H Club girls served 



From a Hobby to a Business 

Mrs. A. F. Riggins of the West- 
over Club has made a very profit- 
able business out of what started 
as a hobby. 

At first she started with only 
two small rows of sweet peas which 
sold for $35.00. Now sweetpeas, 
glads and tube roses are her spec- 
ialties. She has from 6000 to 7000 
'■'be roses and an equal amount of 
£lads which she cleared $1,000 last

100% Farm 
Electrification 
Is Still Our Goal 




]' MM'l' ,l J l _ r L H->l 



snmsmmsm 




Electricity for every farm in our 
service area is still our goal. And we're 
making gains toward the goal, but pro- 
gress is slow — not nearly as fast as we had 
planned. We were ready to go ahead un- 
der full steam within a few months after 
the end of the war — just as soon as enough 
men were released from military service 
to build up our construction crews. 

Then a lot of unexpected things began 
to happen which either closed mines and 
factories, or greatly reduced their pro- 
duction. As a consequence, many orders 
we placed last year for material and equip- 
ment have not yet been filled. Several 
millions of dollars worth of materials and 
equipment ordered, and to be ordered this 
year, won't be delivered until 1947 — the 
manufacturers can't make them before 
then. 

We are getting some materials and 
equipment — but in dribbles. The condi- 
tion is not confined to Alabama or Ala- 
bama Power Company. It is nation-wide 
and affects all utilities — including rural 
electric cooperatives. 



There is no shortage of electricity 
in Alabama. Our generating plants 
can turn out enough electricity to 
supply not only present customers, 
but also those who will take service 
when the lines are built. 

We're going to build those lines — 
as quickly as we can, as soon as we 
can get materials to build them with. 
We'ie as eager to have your business 
as you are to have electric service.

On The Farms Of 
Shelby County 

By B. F. Hatchett, W. W. Cowart 
and J. M. Smith 

District farm plans were written 
during the past month on the fol- 
lowing farms : L. J. Abel, D. G. 
Hughes, J. T. Grimes and J. D. 
Frost of Calera; Frank Moody, E. 
B. Lucas, Lester Stansill and R. E. 
Reid, Jr., of Montevallo; A. B. 
Davis, Route 1, Columbiana; C. O. 
Adkins, of Vincent and W. D. 
Wolfenbarger of Route 2, Wilson- 
ville. 

Several car loads of lime have 
been spread on farms in Shelby 
County during the past three 
weeks, mostly on pastures. Several 
more farmers are expecting the 
trucks with the spreader attach- 
ment on them ,on their farms soon. 
Charlie Barnes of Wilsonville was 
worried about liming his pasture 
now since the cows might not eat 
the lime covered grass and clover 
and he needed the grazing. What 
little grazing he will lose can be 
made up by grazing a five acre 
field of kudzu until the dew and 
rain washes off his grass and 
clover. 

Mr. Barnes says his kudzu means 
more to him during late summer 
and fall for grazing than any oth- 
er crop, and as such it needs fer- 
tilizing every year just as cotton 
and corn to get the best returns. 
He did not have time to fertilize 
it in the spring but will from now 
on. 

W. I. Brown of Vincent, Route 
2, can prove to anyone that sericea 
lespedeza must have phosphate 
and potash or the sedge grass will 
take it. Sedge did take it last year 
but with an application of 0-14-10 
this spring the sericea is again 
taking over and producing top hay.

out of the same basket 

Telephone materials for catching up 
on thousands of applications for tele- 
phones, extending farm telephone service, and providing 
more long distance facilities all come from the same basket. 
It's a big basket, but war communication demands emptied 
it and left us way behind in switchboards, buildings, cables 
and everything telephone service requires. 

In spite of hampering shortages of raw materials — lead, 
copper, steel and the like — we're making progress. And 
we won't let up until there's plenty of service, local and 
long distance, for town and form.

Sparkman Issues 
Statement To People 

Rep. John J. Sparkman, of Hunts- 
ville, won the Democratic nomina- 
tion for the late Sen. John H. Bank- 
head's unexpired term in last Tues- 
days primary, Party Chairman 
Gessner T. McCorvey reported 
Wednesday. 

McCorvey said a tabulation of 
official returns reported by the 
county committees showed that 
Sparkman, House majority whip, 
finished with a margin of 229 votes 
over the combined total of his four 
opponents, eliminating any possi- 
bility of a runoff. 

The tabulation : 

Sparkman, 85,049; State Sen. 
James A Simpson, of Birmingham, 
46,762; Rep. Frank W. Boykin, Mo- 
bile, 35,982; Thomas H. Maxwell, 
of Tuscaloosa, 585, and Ted Allen, 
of Union Springs, 1,260. 

Mr. Sparkman has issued the fol- 
lowing statement to the people of 
Alabama. 

I have just received from Mr. 
Simpson a telegram of congratula- 
tions and have been informed that 
he will not enter a run-off election 
even if the official count shows me 
not to have a clear majority. Natur- 
ally, I am pleased. 

The tremendous lead given my i 
candidacy is greatifying. The total 
vote cast was not as large as I 
had hoped it would be. Had it been 
larger, I am confident the majority 
would have been certain and de- 
cisive. 

The campaign was for me a great 
experience. All those contesting 
with me for the nomination I count 
as my friends. It was a clean cam- 
paign and one in which, I feel, the 
issues were presented fairly to the 
people. 

The vote given to my candidacy 
was not for me personally, but for 
the things that I have advocated 
not only in this campaign, but over 
the years that I have served in 
Congress. That vote came not from 
any one group noi groups, but from 
the people as a whole. A study of 
the vote will show that the support 
my candidacy received came from 
all parts of the State and from 
country and city alike. 

No person, group or organization 
has asked me for any promise or 
has tried to obligate me in any way. 
My only obligation will be to the 
people, and the people of Alabama. 
As I have done in the past, I will 
continue to do, that is, to vote my 
honest convictions in an effort to 
give to the people of Alabama the 
kind of representation to which 
they are entitled. 

Alabama is a great State. She 
needs the faith, confidence and tire- 
less energy of everyone in pushing 
her forward to a development of all 
of her resources, both human and 
natural. To this I am pledged. 

One thing I wish to repeat, as I 
have stated to the people all over 
Alabama, 1 believe the greatest 
single issue facing the people is 
that of lasting peace throughout 
the world. I promise that I will 
work untiringly toward having the 
nations of the world live together 
as a family of nations to preserve 
the peace. 

By the magnificent vote given my 
candidacy last Tuesday, I am made 
happy but humble. To all who 
worked for my candidacy, to all 
who supported it and to all of the 
people of Alabama, I am most 
grateful.

Montevallo Athletic 
Club Organized 

During the past ten days two 
meetings of members of the Monte- 
vallo Baseball Team, and other per- 
sons, interested in community athle- 
tics, took place and a permanent 
organization was formed and named 
the Montevallo Athletic Club. The 
purpose of this Club is to promote 
community athletics of all types 
except High School Athletics, to co- 
operate with other organizations 
and groups of the community in 
ill matters of athletic or recreation- 
al nature, and to give the young 
men of the community a genuine 
responsibility in community welfare. 
The idea was born as a result of 
the success of the Independent 
Baseball Team during the current 
season. 

Hereafter, athletic teams will play 
under the name of Montevallo A. C. 
and any new uniforms, either 
basketball or baseball, will be so 
marked. It is the intention of the 
club to organize a basketball team 
for the coming season. 

The Club membership at present 
includes 22 members and new mem- 
bers may be admitted according to 
regulations set out in the Club's 
By-Laws as formulated. It is stress- 
ed that any male member of the 
community may apply for member- 
ship whether or not he is actively 
engaged in athletics. He must be 
interested in promoting athletic 
activity in the community. 

Charter members of the club 
elected as their officers: Mitchell 
Young, President ; Raymond Love- 
lady, Secretary - Treasurer ; and 
Chick Eddings v Director of Publi- 
city. Glen Bashore acted as tempor- 
ary chairman of organization meet- 
ings. Officers were elected for the 
balance of the fiscal year which 
will end February 28. For the pre- 
sent, at least, the Club will meet 
every Tuesday evening at 7 :00 at 
Bashore's Store.

Hospital Bill Makes 
Federal Funds 
Available To State 

President Truman has signed the 
Hospital Survey and Construction 
bill sponsored by Senator Lister 
Hill, making available to Alabama 
$14,540,000 of federal money, more 
federal money for Alabama than for 
any other state except four. 

Senator Hill states that the bill 
incorporates an entirely new princi- 
ple which allots the most money to 
the state having the greatest need. 
Hill pointed out that this is the 
first bill containing this principle 
ever to pass the United States Sen- 
ate, and it allots to Alabama a larg- 
er share of federal funds than any 
bill ever before to pass the Con- 
gress. 

Non-profit hospitals, municipal, 
county and state hospitals and 
health centers in Alabama will be 
eligible to receive a Federal grant 
of 33- Ms cents for every dollar's 
worth of hospital and health center 
construction undertaken under the 
bill. 

Senator Hill estimated that ap- 
proximately $3,000,000 in Federal 
funds would be available each year 
for the construction or enlargement 
of hospitals and health facilities in 
Alabama. This sum would have to 
be matched with $6,000,000 of local 
and state contribution, thus giving 
Alabama an annual hospital and 
health construction program of over 
$9,000,000, or a program of some 
$45,000,000 over the five-year period. 



4-H Club Camp 

Calling all 4-H club boys and 
girls ! 1 ! Plans have been made for 
the Annual 4-H club camp^ The

ning Augusa 19th-23rd. 

The facilities at Camp Mac are 
excellent for an outing. The follow-

One Death Recorded 
Every 22 Seconds 

The Grim Reaper wielded his 
scythe among the people of the 
United States in 1944 at an average 
rate of approximately one death 
every 22 seconds, according to in- 
formation received by the State 
Department of Health from the 
Bureau of the Census.- 

Deaths occurring in all parts of 
the county during that 366-day 
(leap year) period totaled 1,411,338. 
Of these, 26,157 occured in Alabama. 



Swift Emphasizes 
Alabama's Loss Of 
Senator Bankhead 

Alabama's loss in the passing of 
Senator John H. Bankhead, 11. was 
emphasized by Senator Swift in the 
closing hours of the 79th Congress. 

He said, "In view of the resolu- 
tion which has just been agreed to, 
it will be only a matter of hours 
before the Members of 'this body 
will return to their States and their 
respective homes. 

"On June 12, 1946, the State of 
Alabama suffered a great loss in 
the untimely death of its then 
senior Senator, John H. Bankhead, 
II. He was elected to this body on 
November 4, 1930, reelected Novem- 
ber 5, 1936, and again reelected on 
November 3, 1942. During his entire 
term as United States Senator he 
worked ceaselessly and tirelessly for 
the people of his State, our Nation, 
and the Democratic Party. His ef- 
forts, particularly in the line of 
agriculture, already have brought 
fruit, and his influence will be felt 
long into the future. 

"To one named temporarily to the 
vacancy caused by his death until 
his successor can be elected in the 
general election on November 5, 
the respect and esteem in which 
he was held by his colleagues in 
this body and the influence he 
wielded is recognized in its true 
perspective. In my wholly inade- 
quate efforts to fill his place, the 
Members of this body have been 
exceedingly cordial, considerate, and 
helpful. I thank you, one and all, for 
myself, the Governor and the peo- 
ple of Alabama. I go back to them 
knowing that each and every one 
of you wish me to convey to the 
people of my State your individual 
sense of the loss you sustained in 
the death of John H., Bankhead, a 
great Alabamian, a great Ameri- 
can."

Alabama's Gulf 
Coast 

Devotees of Alabama's Gulf Coast 
fishing and recreational advantages 
are encouraged at some recent 
"straws in the wind" which indicate 
that a biroad-scale movement to 
develop that area in Baldwin Coun- 
ty may be in the making. 

Last month the Alabama Press 
Association went to Panama City. 
Florida, for its summer outing. The 
editors would have gone to the 
Baldwin County Gulf shore instead 
if the latter had been able to offer 
the required accommodations. This 
has brought forth considerable 
agitation toward some kind of a 
plan for development of the ad- 
vantages of our own Alabama Gulf 
area. 

Further emphasis upon such a de- 
velopment program in Baldwin 
County is added by a recent state- 
ment of Governor-elect, Jim Folsom, 
that he will throw his influence into 
a state program to make Alabama's 
Gulf area equal in every way to its 
nearby Florida seashore resorts. 

There are. a great number of Ala- 
bamians who are accustomed to 
visiting the Baldwin County area 
each year for fishing and other 
recreation. These will be glad to 
know there is prospect of improv- 
ing facilities in the area. 

The greatest need of the Gulf 
Coast section of Baldwin County is 
a hard surface road from the canal 
bridge (south of Foley) to Bear 
Point on Perdido Bay. 

Perdido Bay is the only pass into 
and out of the Gulf between Mobile 
and Pensacola. It is the gateway 
used by all boats of the area en- 
gaged in deep sea fishing. People 
who visit any part of the Baldwin 
County resort section have to go up 
to Perdido Bay to get a boat to 
go out in the Gulf fishing. Hence 
the desperate need of a good road 
to .connect Perdido Bay with the 
paved roads In the Gulf Shores 
section. 

Those who are of 1 a mind to ap- 
proach the problem of making 
south Baldwin County a fully de- 
veloped play ground should get the 
viewpoint of the fishermen of Per- 
dido Bay: the Walkers — Rufus, 
Roy, Bob — Bill Morrill, James and 
Herman Callaway. Capt. Ewing and 
others. These are the men who have 
made Baldwin County the best deep 
sea fishing place on the Gulf and 
they know what it takes to make 
our Gulf area what the people of 
Alabama would like it to be.

This "Basket of Roses" quilt, made by members of 39 Etowah Home Demonstration Clubs, was displayed recently at the 14th annual quilt show sponsored by 
the Etowah County council of home demonstration clubs at Gadsden, Ala. These women make some very beautiful quilts each year. — Photo by Lewis ArnoW. 



HOME demonstration club, women of Eto- 
wah County make some very beautiful 
quilts. 

To show some of these to their city and 
town friends they have held 14 quilt shows 
in the ballroom of the Printup Hotel, Gads- 
den. First year the show was open for two 
hours from 2 p. m. until 4 p. m. The club 
made $20. 

Each year the interest has grown and now 
the show stays open from 2 p. m. until 9 p. 
m. This year the women made $935. 

The walls throughout the ballroom were 
covered with laid work quilts and all in the 



latest designs. Also a beautiful display of 
pieced quilts was on exhibit. 

On account of the shortage of material 
some of the pieced quilts were made of sacks. 
The background and linings were made of 
white sacks and the pieces of printed sacks. 
Two laid work quilts were made of sacks. 

A group of old quilts was on display. They 
were from 65 to 100 years old and showed the 
beautiful designs and quilting that our grand- 
mothers did. 

One side of the room was covered in 
dresses, suits, dish towels, aprons, crochet 
work, tufted bedspreads, baby clothes and 
handicraft that the women had made. Out- 
standing exhibits included a large group of 



sack pillow cases made in embroidery, cut 
work, drawn work and edged in crochet. A 
beautiful display of women's tailored suits 
that the women had made was exhibited. In 
the display of crochet work were beautiful 
bedspreads, table cloths, doilies, dresser sets, 
baby sweaters and caps. 

Last year the women put $300 of the money 
made in scholarship fund. They gave $100 to 
the new curb market site in Gadsden, $65 to 
the Red Cross, $50 to Benevolences, furnish- 
ed sandwiches for the Crippled Children's 
Clinic, and spent $100 on their own projects. 

Approximately 1,200 people attended the 
show from Etowah, Blount, DeKalb, Marshall 
and St. Clair counties.

5-Way Meat Program 

FOR Alabama meat producers to utilize 
livestock feeds to gain the most meat, as 
well as give livestock farmers more profits, 
Dr. C. D. Lowe, U. S. Department of Agri- 
culture extension livestock specialist, enum- 
erates the following check points: 

1. Cull because good animals grow meat 
more efficiently than culls. Early disposal of 
undesirable animals helps balance the herd 
or flock to the feed that will be available. 

2. Graze more to produce more meat, for 
liberal reliance on pasture and range lessens 
reliance on grain feeds and commercial sup- 
plements. 

3. Avoid losses; reduce deaths, and the ef- 
fects of disease, parasites, mineral and vita- 
min deficiencies, and poor management. Ani- 
mals that never get to market eat some food 
and its costs has come out of the proceeds 
from the survivors. 

4. Use performance records; these help 
identify breeding animals whose offsprings 
make greatest gains in the least time on the 
least feed. 

5. Check cost of gains; good gains at 
small cost are likely to be more profitable 
than greater gains at high cost. 



Community improvement is one thing in 
which you win even if you don't get a prize.

Subterranean Clover 

• 

BARKER and Tallarook varieties of Aus- 
tralian subterranean clover are finding 
favor in the clay hill sections of the South- 
east. 

Farmers and research workers report that 
the clover provides pasture six months during 
the winter and spring and then produces 200 
to 300 pounds of seed per acre. If not pastur- 
ed it often yields four tons of hay per acre. 
It is relished by livestock both as a pasture 
and hay crop. 



Potatoes Big Business 

POTATOES are big business. Last year's 
crop of 425 million bushels was the third 
highest -in our history. However, the average 
yield of 150.6 bushels per acre set an all- 
time record. 

This is no accident. Potato yields have 
been on Lhe upswing for the past twenty 
years. For one thing, the farmer knows more 
about this staple food. He uses more fertiliz- 
er, better seed varieties, and he has applied 
the science of growing — equally important, 
he has shifted potato growing to higher pro- 
ducing areas. 



Fruit Increase Income 

By R. H. KIRKPATRICK 
Assistant County Agent 

WHILE Alabama is not known as a great 
producer of truck and fruit crops, these 
crops do have a place on the farm, both to 
sell and to supply food for the farm family. 

Chilton County is an example and has long 
been known for its fruits and vegetables. 
Fruit and vegetable production has been ex- 
panding as farmers realize that cotton can- 
not compete with well-managed truck crops 
as a cash crop. 

E. C. Cox, a progressive farmer of Thorsby, 
not only does a good job of producing vege- 
tables and fruits, but operates an attractive 
and profitable roadside market. 

Mr. Cox has a 120-acre farm located on the 
Birmingham-Montgomery Highway. His cot- 
ton and feed crops consist of 24 acres of cot- 
ton, 20 acres of corn, 14 acres of oats, one 
acre crimson clover, three acres vetch and 
oats. There are approximately 62 acres de- 
voted to cotton and feed production. This 
acreage represents approximately 60 per cent 
of the total cropland. 

Truck and Fruit Crops 

There are 42 V2 acres planted to fruit and 
truck crops. This acreage consists of 30 acres 
of peaches, two acres of plums, three acres 
of grapes, 1*4 ac^-es of watermelons, IV2 
acres cantaloupe, two acres dewberries, i/fc 
acre strawberries and two acres of other 
truck crops such as squash and beans. 

Mr. Cox has two croppers who work the 
peaches and berries on a fifty-fifty basis as 
they do the cotton crop. The power equip- 
ment and workstock consist of one tractor 
and one pair mules. He has approximately 
$4,600 invested in equipment and buildings 
needed in the production of and marketing 
of the crop. 

All the fruits and vegetables produced on 
the farm are sold on the roadside market. 
The 40 per cent of cropland in fruit and vege- 
tables accounts for 75 per cent of the total 
farm income. 

More Berries and Grazing 

Mr. Cox is planning to reduce his cotton 
acreage and increase the number of acres of 
strawberries and dewberries along with an 
increase in crimson clover and ryegrass for 
winter grazing. With pasture improvement 
and winter grazing, he plans to add livestock 
and poultry to his operation and sell eggs and 
butter at his roadside stand. 

By selling his own produce on the highway 
Mr. Cox has been able to save himself the 
time, trouble, and expense of hauling his pro- 
duce to distant markets. Since the flow of 
traffic on the highway remains fairly con- 
stant many of the risks of glutted markets and 
resultant low prices are eliminated. By sell- 
ing quality fruits and vegetables he has estab- 
lished a reputation for his produce. 



Lock Plants Popular 

ALABAMA freezer-locker plants are con- 
tributing a major part in the storage and 
preservation of meats in these times of criti- 
cal food shortages. They will continue to 
render even greater services in the future. 

During the war when other industries were 
curtailed, the freezer-locker business, because 
of the splendid service it was doing and had 
done for food preservation, was permitted 
to grow. Evidence of the tremendous popu- 
larity is demonstrated in the fact that in 1939 
there were 1,250 plants in the United States, 
while today there are over 8,000 serving 11,- 
400,000 people. 

On January 1, this year, Alabama with 35 
plants in operation, ranked 29th in the Na- 
tion. Today there are 49 plants in operation 
with 19 additional plants planned or under 
construction. All of these plants but four 
have additional facilities for meat curing.

These Photos were made on the "Little TV A" in Marengo County. 

New "Little TVA" 

MARENGO County folks call it the "Little TVA." That 
series of ponds bordering on the town of Linden, 
though not so impressive as the mighty Tennessee Valley 
Authority, serves well the people who are responsible for 
its birth. 

The story begins in 1942. 

That year Dr. O. M. Owensby, who is an active farmer 
and a retired surgeon, became interested in farm ponds. 
With help from county extension service and soil conserva- 
tion workers, a site was surveyed for the first pond. A 
dam was built with equipment on the farm, 
and the following year fish were ordered and 
the pond fertilized as recommended by the 
Agricultural Experiment Station. 

Dr. Owensby built the dam for his second 
pond in 1943. This five-acre pond is just 
above the first one, with only the dam sep- 
arating the two. It was stocked and fertiliz- 
ed as recommended. 

Water level of the upper pond can be rais- 
ed or lowered by a combination concrete spill- 
way and boat lock. Boats can be moved from 
the lower to higher pond by this ingenious 
device. 

Three more ponds are being added to the 
"Little TVA" system this year. The chain is 
being extended upstream by two ponds of 
about two acres each, being built by W. E. 
Alston and S. W. Compton on adjoining prop- 
erties. The dam for the third new pond, just 
completed by Dr. Owensby, will form a pond 
in an adjoining hollow, roughly parallel to 
the first. This dam, about 25 feet high and 
350 feet long, will provide about 20 acres of 
water. These ponds will be stocked and fer- 
tilized this year. 

In a setting of great natural beauty, this 
"Little TVA" system of dams and ponds is 
a most attractive and an annual recreational 
development, says Frank Jones, county agent. 
Fishing, boating, swimming, picnic^, camp- 
ing and other sports thrive here. 




Rural Babies Are Needed 



RESPITE remarkable progress 



These Three Together 

OUR national economy is well represented 
by a three-legged stool, the legs being 
industry, farmer and labor. To achieve full 
production and a fair distribution of profits, 
no one leg must be shorter or longer than the 
other. It is evident that when one leg is 
lengthened, the stool becomes wobbly and 
there is a creaking and groaning until the 
other two legs reach the same length. — R. 
Douglas Stuart. 



since the 

turn of the century, rural America has 
largely lost its advantageous position relative 
to urban health," says Frederick D. Mott, 
senior surgeon of the U. S. Public Health Ser- 
vice. 

Death rates of rural infants, pre-school 
children and youths 15 years of age and over 
were -higher in 1940 than those of residents 
of large cities. While cities of 100,000 or more 
had an infant mortality rate of 34.3 in 1942, 
the rate was 43.3 in rural places and 44.6 in 
semi-rural towns. The rural maternity mortal- 
ity rate in 1941 was almost one-third higher 
than the big city rate. 

"The significance of a decent chance for 
life and good health for rural babies and 
mothers is far-reaching," says Dr. Mott. "The 
rural birth rate exceeds the urban by a wide 
margin. In urban places of 10,000 popula- 
tion 10 adults are raising 7 children ; on farms 
10 adults are raising 14 children. 

"Over half of all the children in the Na- 
tion are from the rural communities. If it 
were not for the constant flow to the cities, 
the urban population would decline about 24 
per cent in a generation. It is clear that if 
tomorrow's urban citizens are to have the 
opportunity to build sound bodies and alert 
minds in infancy and childhood, the benefits 
of scientific health care must be extended to 
the country, as well as to the city." 



Fortunately, you don't have to say "dichlo- 
rophenoxyacetic acid ;" most people know the 
new weed killer as merely, "2, 4-D."

Use DDT With Care 

DDT is so powerful, says W. H. Gregory, 
Alabama extension livestock specialist, 
that farmers must be cautious in using it on 
the farm. 

Mr. Gregory warns: 

1. Not to put DDT in oil on any livestock 
except 2/10 of one per cent on hogs. This 
material in oil is absorbed through their skin 
and is poisonous to them. 

2. Not to use any DDT on cats and very 
sparingly on dogs. They may lick off suf- 
ficient quantities to be poisonous to them. 

3. Not to permit sprayed animals to wade 
into fish ponds. DDT is very poisonous to 
all cold blooded animals including fish. 

4. Not to utilize any material not plainly 
stating per cent DDT it contains or pay the 
unreasonable prices charged for some DDT 
products. 

Mr. Gregory states further that farmers 
should not expect DDT to kill rapidly, like 
pyrethrum fly spray for example. It is toxic 
to insects both by contact and as a stomach 
poison but does not have a quick effect. 

Results From Nitrogen 

FROM 1900 to 1945 use of nitrogen fertiliz- 
er has increased ten fold — from 62,000 
tons to 626,000 tons. Since 1910 almost half 
the money farmers have spent for fertilizer 
has been for nitrogen. 

With normal application and with other 
conditions reasonably good, the farmer may 
expect a return of 3 to 5 bushels of corn, 6 
to 8 bushels of potatoes, 100 to 140 pounds 
of seed cotton, and (in the South) 6 to 8 
bushels of oats from 10 pounds of fertilizer 
nitrogen.

O. DAVIS, 

MEN work by faith. This is true in their 
daily living here and in their living here- 
after. Nature so decrees; and so does the 
Divine. 

Farming is a good example. From plant- 
ing until harvest the farmer works by faith. 
No one lives more by faith than he who tills 
the soil and attends to livestock. 

He must have faith that seed will germi- 
nate and grow. He must have faith that his 
harvest can be either consumed at home or 
sold properly. And he must have faith that 
his efforts will bring adequate reward to him 
and his family. 

And scientists who pioneered in develop- 
ing the atomic bomb worked by faith without 
which the atomic bomb would not have been 
made. 

They believed that the mind of man has do- 
minion over matter. They believed that mat- 
ter can be transmuted into energy. They 
studied and worked accordingly. The atomic 
bomb became a reality. Its first use was 
human destruction. Our country was at war. 
To win it we had to destroy people and prop- 
erty in the enemy countries. 

Now we're asking : How can atomic energy 
be used for living in peace? And for pre- 
venting another war? We believe in pre- 
vention over cure. 

Our pioneering forefathers who came to 
this country two or three centuries ago had 
faith that they could create a new life in a 
new way in a new country. 

High in their hopes was religious freedom 
about which they had faith because the Bible 
taught them about faith. They had faith al- 
so that they could have freedom of speech, 
freedom of press, freedom of assembly. 

They went to work accordingly. . . sowing 
and reaping in faith, knowing that faith with- 
out work is dead. 

With this faith and this work — based upon 
sound thought and clear thinking — they and 
the .generations that have succeeded them 
down to date have given us the great Ameri- 
can heritage. Of this we're deeply indebted, 
highly grateful, and profoundly encouraged. 

We have faith that we of this generation 
can take what our ancestors have passed on 
to us and improve it. If we can't, we're un- 
worthy of our heritage. 

To begin with we must be sure that all men 
remain free as far as freedom can be had 
without conflict with others. Our neighbors 
must have as much freedom as we have. If 
not, our freedom is their sacrifice. 

Such freedom cannot exist unless all men 
have an opportunity to make their proper 
contribution to freedom and to enjoy it with 
security. 

The farmer on his farm must continue to 
plow and plant and harvest in faith. . . faith 
that he will be properly rewarded without 
undue disappointment. 

The workman in the factory must work in 
faith. . . faith that he, too, will be properly 
rewarded. . . that he will live in keeping 
with others in industries, on farms, in of- 
fices, elsewhere. 

Faith is not seen but the substance of it 
(becomes real and vivid. Substance, there- 
fore, is our hope, our ambition. 

More than 100 years ago when the United 
States was experiencing a revolution in its 
politics and in its economy, the Poet and the 
Essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson said that 
"anytime is a good time to live if we know 
what to do with it." This applies literally to 
us today. 




Fence posts of non-durable wood can be made to have 20 to 30 years of life, or even more, by the simple 
method of tire-tube treating. 

By this method the bark is peeled for a distance of 4 to 6 inches from the large end of the post, to proyide 
a smooth, clean surface. A section of old inner tube two feet long is stretched over the peeled surface and 
filled with the preservative. The post is then laid on a home-made rack with the large end about two feet or 
more higher than the small end. In a short time the preservative, contained in the tube, will begin to flow into 
the sapwood of the post, forcing the natural sap out at the small end. When all the preservative has flowed 
from the tire tube into the wood, the tube is removed and the post taken from the rack. 

The length of time required for the preservative to flow will depend upon quantity used, condition of 
wood, season, and other factors, and will vary from 8 to 24 hours. The preservative can be coal-tar creosote 
or mixtures of creosote with other suitable oils. — Greenville Advocate. 



New Ginning Aid 

"|\ /TESTIFIERS" which permit ginning of 
full-weight bales have been developed 
by agricultural engineers of the U. S. Depart- 
ment of Agriculture. 

Static electricity, generated by movement 
of dry cotton through the gin, causes cotton 
to bunch up, clogs the gin machinery, pre- 
vents lint from packing uniformly in the press 
box, and creates a fire hazard. The en- 
gineers found that adding sulphanated oil 
mist to the lint eliminates the static, and per- 
mits better, continuous ginning and also press- 
ing of the lint into full-weight bales. 

The "mistifiers" are now in use in 18 com- 
mercial gins. 

Peanut Hay Is Good 

THIRD and final test conducted by the 
Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Sta- 
tion shows that good peanut hay is equal to 
good alfalfa hay for dairy cows. There was 
no significant difference between the two ra- 
tions in maintenance of body weight, milk 
production or amounts of feed required to 
produce 100 pounds of milk. The small dif- 
ference found slightly favored the peanut 
hay ration. 



Specifically it challenges us to know how 
to operate farms, banks, business, and all 
other worthwhile enterprises in a way that 
will be good for the individual and sound for 
the nation. 

The national viewpoint should comprehend 
the international viewpoint and world be- 
cause we're now closely linked together and 
so dependent upon each other as to make 
mutual concern a challenge for mutual wel- 
fare at home and abroad. 



Ways Give Cows Protein 

DAIRY farmers faced with the growing 
shortage of protein feeds, because of the 
urgent demand for grains for human food 
here and abroad, can help meet the critical 
situation by handling the season's hay crops 
to conserve more of the protein content. 

One way is to harvest legume hays when 
they are in about the quarter-bloom stage and 
to harvest the grass hays when they are in the 
early-head stage. Harvested at these early 
stages of maturity, the plants will contain 
from 10 to 15 per cent more protein than if 
harvested in the late-bloom and late-head 
stages, and the crops will yield more total 
protein per acre. 

The second way, according to Dr. R. E. 
Hodgson of USDA, is to get more of the 
home-grown protein to the cows by reducing 
the field and storage losses. In tests at the 
Agricultural Research Center, Beltsville, Md., 
Dr. Hodgson found that making the alfalfa 
crop into silage instead of curing it as hay 
would produce feed having 9 per cent more 
protein (on the same moisture basis) and 
make 12 per cent more protein per acre avail- 
able for the cows. These differences favor- 
ing alfalfa silage were obtained under good 
haying conditions, and the differences would 
be even more favorable under poor haying 
conditions. Making silage conserves the pro- 
tein of the feed during storage and minimizes 
the loss of protein in the field. 

Cows will get enough protein for liberal 
milk production, however, if they get all the 
early-cut good quality legume silage they 
want, or if they get all the high-quality early- 
cut legume hay they want. Therefore, Dr. 
Hodgson says, dairy farmers can largely meet 
the protein shortage by cutting their hay 
crops early, and by making high-quality hay 
when conditions are favorable for haying or 
by making silage when conditions are un- 
favorable for making good hay. 



Blue Lupine Popular 

By EARL KENNAMER 

BLUE lupine has proven so successful on 
sandy soil's that south Alabama farmers, 
in addition to building up their land with the 
winter legume, have turned to mass produc- 
tion of lupine seed as a cash crop. 

For example, Pike County farmers this year 
harvested 647,000 pounds of seed. Among 
the high producers were W. L. Perkins with 
a total of 78,000 pounds; L. E. Whaley, 66,- 
000 ; Max Folmar, 60,000 ; George Dunn, 40,- 
000 ; and Sam Whaley, 30,000. In Covington 
County, J. J. Riley, Carolina, harvested a 
ton per acre of seed from his 12 acres planted 
to blue lupine. 

These Farmers Did Well 

Lupine raisers in Macon County averaged 
approximately 1,000 pounds of seed per acre 
on the 600 acres harvested. Henry County 
farmers gathered 600,000 pounds from their 
crop. Crenshaw County farmers saved 374,- 
800 pounds of seed off 352 acres. The har- 
vest in Coffee County totaled 150,500 pounds; 
in Elmore County 118,000 pounds. Houston 
County farmers had 2300 acres of lupine to 
harvest for seed. In Geneva County the yields 
of seed exceeded all expectations by 25 to 30 
per cent. 

Lupine seed has an eager market as seen 
in the fact that two wholesale seedsmen have 
expressed their wish to purchase all the seed 
offered for sale by Macon County producers. 

How To Succeed 

For recommended procedure in growing a 
good crop of this winter legume, each acre 
to be planted should be first fertilized with 
300 to 400 pounds of 0-14-10 or with 400 to 
500 pounds of basic slag or 200 to 300 pounds 
of superphosphate and 50 to 70 pounds of 
muriate of potash. 

The crop is an excellent one to plant on 
soil where peanuts have been harvested, in 
cotton or corn middles, and after hay crops, 
recommends J. C. Lowery, extension agron- 
omist. Lupine seeds which have been inoc- 
ulated with lupine inoculant should be plant- 
ed in drills with a grain drill for best results 
at the rate of 50 to 75 pounds per acre. Seed 
may be planted with a three-row drill, or 
peanut planter. The seed may be broadcast, 
disked lightly to cover and the soil then firm- 
ed with a cultipacker, roller, or drag. 

In the two pictures at right the effects of following 
and not following recommended procedures are shown. 

On the left, Assistant County Agent Clark Rudder 
and H. W. Knowles of Houston County illustrate the 
experimental effect of crops of blue lupine planted 
early and late on Mr. Knowles' farm. The field 
in which the two men are standing shows the growth, 
from seed planted on December 21; the one on the 
right illustrates growth from seed planted on Sep- 
tember 20. 

Picture at right was taken on the farm of C. F. 
Wilkerson, Headland, Henry County. Assistant Coun- 
ty Agent W. L. Holstun indicates height of growth of 
blue lupine grown from inoculated seed on the left, 
and the growth on the right from seed not inoculated. 



Here is excellent evidence of the successful growing 
and harvesting of blue lupine seed on south Alabama 
soils. 

Picture number 1 shows Jesse Johnson and W. D. 
Webster, county agent, Henry County, examining ex- 
cellent growth of blue lupine on the farm of Jesse 
and Alto Johnson, Newville, Rt. 1. They have 60 acres 
for producing seed. After harvesting peanuts about 
the middle of September and picking them about Oc- 
tober 1, they immediately drill lupine. The two 
brothers have discovered that where they have a good 
stand of lupine they have good growth but where they 
have a poor stand, they have poor growth. 

Picture number 2 illustrates the harvesting of the 
seed in spring and early summer. Combines belonging 
to G. A. Swearingin and A. D. Ray, Shorter, Macon 
County, are being used to harvest the 75 tons of seed 
on Mr. Swearingin's 125 acres of blue lupine this year. 

In number 3 seed are being cleared and graded at 
the highest rate of 1 }jj tons per hour in the reconvert- 
ed farm shop of A. J. Segrest, Rt. 1, Shorter, Macon 
County. The seed cleaning establishment has a No. 
9 clipper cleaner and seed corn grader which processed 
approximately 600,000 pounds of lupine seed produced 
in Macon County this year. 



Time To Plant 

The time for planting is the period be- 
tween September 15 and October 20. Mr. 
Lowery warns not to plant too late because 
delayed planting is the reason for the most 
common cause of failure with the crop. In 
Auburn, tests conducted in 1944 revealed that 
lupine planted on September 15 yielded over 
three times as much green material than 
when planted one month later. 

Plowing under the crop is recommended 
when the average green growth weighs 30 to 
40 pounds per hundred square feet. If seed 
production is the goal of the lupine farmer, 
harvesting is done with a combine, beginning 
the harvest as soon as the seed are fully ma- 
tured but before much "popping" begins. 



He Presses Forward 

C 1 P- GARRETT of Limestone County is an 
excellent example of a progressive farm- 
er who is always trying to better his enter- 
prise. 

At present Mr. Garrett is pioneering in 
seed drying. To avoid losses of oats, crimson 
clover and other small seed harvested during 
wet weather, he has recently installed a seed 
drying system in a building on his farm. This 
system consists of eight 300-bushel capacity 
bins, each with ventilated floors about 18 
inches above the base floor with an air duct 
leading to each bin. Ventilation is supplied 
by a fan connected to a 7^ horse power 
motor. 

The building is of strong construction with 
the floor about six feet above the ground. 
Outlet pipes are built in the center of each 
bin and when the seed are dried, these pipes 
are opened and the seed pour directly into 
sacks on scales. Mr. Garrett believes the sav- 
ing in seed the first year will pay for the cost 
of installation since there is considerable 
waste in harvesting oats when they are left 
in the field until they reach the combine 
stage. With his drying bins he can harvest 
oats earlier and save shattering, and save 
small seeds such as that of crimson clover 
that otherwise might be wasted. 

On his farm this year Mr. Garrett has a 
pasture of white Dutch clover which will 
yield over 100 pounds of seed per acre. In 
addition he has 300 acres of cotton, 340 acres 
of corn, 70 acres of oats, 105 acres of wheat, 
16 acres of barley, 375 acres of vetch, 80 
acres of alfalfa, 110 acres of crimson clover 
and ryegrass and 75 acres of grain sorghum. 
His 127 acres of pasture is limed and phos- 
phated. 

Besides being a master farmer, he is Farm 
Credit Director, general manager of the 
Tennessee Fertilizer Cooperative, and Presi- 
dent of the Limestone County Exchange.

Question And Answer 

Question: How often should I fertilize my 
farm pond? 

Answer: Start using fertilizer in March and 
repeat as needed until October. Whenever the 
water is clear one foot down more fertilizer is 
needed. Most ponds should be fertilized from 
6 to 12 times in one year. One or two treat- 
ments won't give satisfactory results.

Sheep Looking Upward 

IT seems that sheep — long overlooked by too 
many farmers as good money-makers — are 
coming into their own. 

Five hundred lambs were sold recently at 
Demopolis and Selma sales, No. l's bringing 
$15.50 a hundred pounds. Grown by 4-H and 
adult farmers, these lambs netted a nice prof- 
it and point to another source of income to 
add to that from beef, dairying, and other 
Black Belt farm enterprises. 

Montgomery's Union Stockyard has had an 
excellent lamb marketing season. Daily sales 
were held with Mondays and Thursdays the 
best days. 

Another indication that lambs are on the 
rise in the State is the fact that county agents 
in the Black Belt have assisted farmers in 
purchasing and placing 19 registered Hamp- 
shire rams for breeding purposes. This step 
will mean better quality lambs and more 
profit for growers. 

That more sheep should be kept by Ala- 
bama farmers is strongly emphasized by W. 
H. Gregory, API extension livestock market- 
ing specialist. He points out that when given 
proper attention they will usually give high- 
er returns on each dollar invested than any 
other class of livestock. Sufficient pasture, 
control of internal parasites, and protection 
from sheep-killing dogs will spell success with 
sheep, he says. 



Are Parents Most Careless? 



SHOULD children warn parents to be more 
careful instead of parents forever warn- 
ing the children? 

A study in Ohio reveals that many lives 
might be saved if this change were made. The 
study revealed that 77 per cent of the 174 
Ohio farm folks killed in 1945 were more 
than 24 years old. 

The analysis also showed that 115 out of 
the 174 who were killed were 45 years old 
or older. The greatest number of deaths oc- 
curred in the 65 and older age group, of 
whom 62 were killed out of the total of 174 
in 1945. 

Farmers Much More Careless 

Farmers ajce much more careless than their 
women folks or else the men are exposed to 
greater occupational hazards. The report 
shows deaths of 148 males and only 26 fe- 
males. 

The report also indicates farm people are 
no more cautious when away than at home 
because 56 of the total were killed while 
away from home, 50 of those cjeaths were 
caused by auto accidents. 

Autos, tractors, and trucks killed 76 farm 
people in 1945. It is believed that those 
causes of deaths partly explain the difference 
in numbers of men and women killed in farm 
accidents. Tractors killed 23 persons, but 
the death list from misuse of all other farm 
machinery was only six persons. 



Winners of first place in the eight county exhibits of lambs 
at the Selma show are shown in the top left picture. Left to 
right they are: Jimmy Ozment, Greene County, Grand Cham- 
pion; James Pigues, Dallas; Kenneth Barton, Perry; Roshell 
Hollingsworth, Hale; Charles Baskin, Sumter; Miller Perdue,

County and his Grand Champion purebred Hampshire ewe

The top right picture shows the judges judging the show 
and making the awards. 



Maples Profits From Sheep 

DR. JOE MAPLES gives me these facts about his 
returns from his flock this year. He sold 34 
lambs that averaged 92 pounds each for $18.10 a 
hundred. He averaged $2 a head from his sheep 
for wool and so from 34 head he had a return of 
$634.10. 

Dr. Maples did not buy a penny's worth of 
feed for these sheep and lambs but produced 
it all on the farm. In his own words, "here's 
more profit for the amount of investment 
than can be made from any other livestock." 

And here is another important point. Sev- 
eral years ago local farmers had to take their 
sheep and lambs to points in Tennessee to 
find a market. Dr. Maples marketed his 
lambs right here in Athens at one of the local 
stock yards and the price quoted was above 
either the price listed in Nashville or Chicago. 

We repeat again that more farmers in 
Limestone County could be making some 
mighty easy money with sheep and lambs. — 
G. B. Phillips, county agent. 



New Rat Killer 



ANTURAT is a new rat killer developed 
at Johns Hopkins Hospital under war- 
time secrecy. 

Anturat is not prepared bait, but a con- 
centrated powder containing 5% Antu. One 
part of anturat is mixed with 20 parts of 
ground grain, meat, fruit, vegetables, or the 
like, for making baits. Antu is tasteless, 
hence rats can not detect it in baits. 

An important feature of anturat is its ef- 
fectiveness as a tracking poison. It can be 
dusted Sown burrows or on surfaces frequent- 
ed by rats and they will get a lethal dose by 
stepping in it and licking their feet. It is also 
effective dusted on the surface of water.

Typhoid Mystery 



(Prepared especially for This Month In Rural Ala- 
bama by the State Department of Health.) 

SEVERAL decades ago the health authori- 
ties of New York State found themselves 
wrestling with one of the most baffling health 
mysteries of all time. 

The public water supplies of a certain sub- 
urban community of New York City, tested 
and re-tested time after time, failed to show 
any evidence of typhoid fever germs. Simi- 
lar tests of milk and other possible sources 
of typhoid fever cases were equally unpro- 
ductive of evidence of contamination. 

Yet cases of this disease continued to oc- 
cur in that community at a disturbing rate. 
What could be responsible for them? 

The Source Finally Found 

The answer to that question was eventually 
discovered by a relatively obscure sanitary 
engineer named George A. Soper. After con- 
vincing himself that the usual villains In the 
drama of typhoid fever — food and water — 
had been freed of suspicion, he began to look 
elsewhere. 

His search finally led him to a domestic 
servant named Mary who had been employed 
as a cook in a number of the homes in which 
cases had occurred. More important, he dis- 
covered that all the cases which had occurred 
in those homes had developed after she had 
started working there. Laboratory examina- 
tions of feces revealed that, although she her- 
self was apparently well, she was a chronic 
carrier of typhoid. 

During a five-year period she is known to 
have been responsible for no fewer than 26 
cases of this disease, and strong, though not 
air-tight, circumstantial evidence links her in 
many medical minds with the outbreak which 
brought it to 1,300 residents of Ithica, N. Y., 
in 1903. 

Typhoid Mary Protested 

For about three years Typhoid Mary, as 
she became widely known as a result of the 
undesirable fame she acquired, carried on a 
legal battle to obtain release from the penal 
institutions in which she was confined be- 
tween 1907 and 1910. 

The New York Supreme Court ruled that, 
as innocent as she was of willful wrong-do- 
ing, her incarceration was altogether legal, 
on the theory that society had a right to take 
even as drastic a measure as this to protect 
itself against a dangerous illness. 

Nevertheless, there were among the gen- 
eral public a large number who sympathized 
with her. They expressed their sense of in- 
justice in letters to newspapers and in other 
ways. In time their efforts in her behalf 
brought her release. 

She Assumed New Names 

Almost immediately she disappeared. But 
she could not keep away from public notice 
for long. She succeeded in getting a job as a 
cook in the Sloane Hospital for Women in 
New York City by applying for work under 
an assumed name, and soon afterward 25 
cases of typhoid fever broke out among the 
staff. Later she was employed as a cook in 
a New Jersey hospital, also under an assumed 
name, and a number of typhoid cases result- 
ed. It is estimated that no fewer than 200. 
persons developed the disease during a two- 
year period as a result of her ability to get 
jobs cooking and handling food for large 
numbers of people. 

Typhoid Mary's death came in 1938, and 
not until then did her unwanted power to 
cause illness and death come to an end. News- 
papers all over the country published long 
obituary articles about- her, describing in con- 




Ways Control Cherokee Roses 

SEVERAL methods for controlling Chero- 
kee roses, a serious pest in the Black Belt 
section, have been developed by Alabama 
farmers working with the Agricultural Ex- 
periment Station of the Alabama Polytechnic 
Institute. 

One way to clear the land of the roses is 
to turn it with tractor-drawn disk plows. Since 
the roots are brittle and offer little resistance 
to the plow the equipment rides over and 
through the bushes, cutting them below the 
ground surface. The brush is then gathered 
in piles and burned. 

U. C. Jenkins, Kirkwood Plantation, Fauns- 
dale, cleared 60 acres of heavily rose-infested 
land during the dry June season of 1941, and 
prepared the land for seeding oats at a cost 
of $5.75 per acre. This cost was a total of 
$3.50 for plowing, $1.25 for hand removal 
of brush and plants missed by the plow, and 
$1.00 for disking. 

A bulldozer can be used economically. This 
method requires a few man hours, removes 
young trees that cannot be plowed under, 
permits filling of holes and small gullies, and 
piles the brush for burning. Dave Under- 
wood, Cherokee Ranch, Demopolis, cleared 
240 acres of moderately infested land in Au- 
gust, 1943, at $2.65 per acre. This cost in- 
cluded rental of bulldozer, hire of driver, 
fuel, and burning the brush. 

Clean cultivated crops have been the most 
effective method of control. A 30-acre field 
moderately infested was cleared in 1941 by 
Tom Beasley, Prairieville, and planted to oats 
in the fall. This was followed by a corn-cot- 
ton rotation with vetch in winters during 
1942-1945. At the end of the 1945 growing 
season no roses were found except in turn 
rows. 

Chemical control of Cherokee rose is de- 
sirable wherever the infestation is small or 
plowing is not practical. Experiments being 
conducted by the station indicate that chemi- 
cal control may become economically pos- 
sible. Jim Crenshaw, Montgomery, is suc- 
cessfully destroying Cherokee rose bushes on 
his 7,000-acre farm with a commercial weed 
killing chemical. 

siderable detail the trouble and grief she 
brought to others and to herself. 

Other Typhoid Carriers 

Although Typhoid Mary was by far the 
most widely known of typhoid carriers, there 
have been others, some of whom have receiv- 
ed considerable publicity. Among them there 
were Typhoid Sally, also a cook, and a six- 
teen-year old Negro boy who was released 
from a Texas reformatory three times be- 
cause he caused a typhoid epidemic every 
time he was sent there. 

Typhoid carriers play an important part as 
the source of much of the sporadic typhoid 
that occurs in Alabama and elsewhere; so 
the medical profession and public health 
authorities must be on the alert against this 
danger. 



Farmers and research experts of Alabama have 
found ways to control Cherokee roses in the Black 
Belt section. This picture shows how the roses be- 
come a serious pest. 



New Roundworm Treatment 

A LABAMA hog raisers will be gratified to 
> know that a new control of roundworm, 
one of the most destructive internal parasites 
that cause heavy losses each year, has been 
reported. 

Sodium 'fluoride, administered to pigs by 
feeding them for one day on a mixture con- 
taining by weight one part of technical grade 
sodium fluoride to each 100 parts of dry 
ground feed, has lately proved the most ef- 
fective drug against roundworm, according 
to Charles E. Bell, livestock specialist of the 
Georgia Extension Service. 

"This new treatment was determined to be 
safe and effective in tests made by the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture in cooperation 
with experiment stations at Beltsville, Mary- 
land, and Tifton, Georgia," disclosed Mr. 
Bell. "The tests at Tifton were the first to 
be carried out under Southern field condi- 
tions." 

The new sodium treatment is cheap, easy 
to obtain and to administer.

LOOSE RUGS ARB 

DANGEROUS 




Research For New Market 

THE food industry in America will spend 
more than $24 million in research work 
during 1946, according to a recent survey of 
300 grocery manufacturers by GMA. This 
money will be channeled to improve old and 
find new markets for raw farm products. 

An excellent example of progress through 
research is found in the story of apple juice. 
Introduced onto the grocers' shelves only a 
few years before the war, apple juice has en- 
joyed a steady increase in popularity. Pro- 
duction and consumption jumped almost 600 
per cent in less than a decade, from 300,000 
cases in 1937 to 1,700,000 cases in 1943. 

Apple juice, the result of food research, 
means not only a new market for an old 
product, but a new delicacy for the table as 
well.

This Month la Rural Alabama 




Dairy com in the year around feed and forage experiment at Auburn are grazed on lespedeza sericea (above) from mid-April to mid-October. Kudzu it used 
for temporary grazing and hay. Whenever it ii necessary to "rest" the sericea, the cows are pastured on the kudzu. The rate of grazing in this experiment is one 
cow per acre. 



A cropping system for year around produc- 
tion of feed and forage for dairy cows 
under trial at the Agricultural Experiment 
Station, A. P. I., yielded an average of 1,440 
pounds of milk per acre per year in the first 
year of the experiment. 

No feed was bought. In fact, this system, 
which involves SV^ acres of crops per cow, 
produced IV2 tons of feed per acre in excess 
of the cows' requirements. 

The system included per cow: (1) one 



acre of lespedeza sericea for spring, summer, 
and early fall grazing; (2) one acre of kudzu 
for temporary grazing and for hay; (3) one 
acre of fall-seeded oats for November, De- 
cember, and January grazing; and (4) one- 
half acre of manganese bur clover for winter 
and spring grazing, and followed by grain 
sorghum planted in mid-June for winter 
roughage. 

Three of the five crops are legumes; two, 
sericea and kudzu, are perennials, while 



manganese bur clover reseeds itself. Only 
the grain sorghum and the oats (l 1 /^ acres 
per cow) must be planted each year. The 
fertilizer cost the first year of the experiment 
was $8 per acre. 

The experiment includes four good grade 
dairy cows and 14 acres of the five crops. Un- 
der this system of ample feed production, the 
four cows produced an average of 5,040 
pounds of milk per cow the first year of the 
trial. 



Winter Grazing Crops Nay Save Alabama's Livestock Industry 



By ROBERT R. CHESNUTT 

WITH a dark cloud hanging over the feed 
picture, Alabama farmers are turning 
to winter grazing crops for saving their live- 
stock industry. 

Importance of these crops is emphasized 
by the fact that they are ready for livestock 
at a time when feed is usually the most scarce 
— in fall and winter. They provide cheap 
feed because machinery can be used to plant 
them, and the animals themselves do the har- 
vesting. If planted at the right time, fertilized 
correctly, and not overgrazed, winter grazing 
crops will help to solve the feed problem 
wherever they are grown. One or two acres 
should be grown for every cow. 

Winter Grazing The Answer 

Winter grazing crops aren't new to farm- 
ers. Last year almost a half million acres 
were grown and furnished the cheapest pos- 
sible feed. This year farmers are already 
starting to get their land ready to plant far 
beyond any previous acreage. 

Crimson clover grown alone or in a mix- 
ture with ryegrass gives the best winter graz- 
ing, especially for dairy cows and hogs. Thou- 
sands of farmers began in June to fallow 
good land for the crop ; others are doing the 
same now. Following the advice of their 
county agents, farmers plan to disk or har- 
row after each rain to save moisture. They 
will put down plenty of fertilizer two weeks 
before seeding from July 20 to August 1 in 
the Tennessee Valley and on Sand Mountain, 
and during August further south. 

Twenty to 30 pounds of crimson clover 
seed and the same amount of ryegrass should 
be planted. Grow crimson clover alone if 
seed are to be harvested. Be sure to double 
inoculate crimson clover seed with commer- 
cial clover inoculation and inoculated soil. 

Small Grain Important 

Small grains make up over one-third of the 
winter grazing crops in the state. Most of 
this acreage is planted to oats because the 
crop fits into almost every farmer's plan to 
produce more feed. Oats give grazing in the 
fall and winter, and if stock are taken off 
about March 1 grain or hay may be harvest- 



ed. Instead of combining oats, some farmers 
prefer to graze hogs on them until corn or 
other feed crops are ready. Too, oats may 
be planted in a mixture with hairy, smooth, 
or Willamette vetch for grazing or hay. 

Though oats aren't planted until Septem- 
ber 1 to October 15, now is the time to ar- 
range for seed and fertilizer and to plan 
where the crop is to be planted. Break and 
disk clay soil and land that has a heavy 
growth of crops or weeds at least two weeks 
before planting. In the Black Belt land should 
be broken now. Oats do well when planted 
in cotton or corn middles. 

Fertilize just before planting, if oats do not 
follow a heavily fertilized crop. Top-dress 
in the fall for grazing, then again about 
March 1 if grain is to be saved. 

Treat planting seed for smut and plant two 
to three bushels per acre. 

Alfalfa Excellent Crop 

Many farmers planning to grow alfalfa are 
fallowing land where vetch has been turned. 



He's Got The Answers 

YOUR county agent will be glad to answer 
any questions you have about winter graz- 
ing crops. He has all the latest information on 
all these crops. Be sure to talk to him if you 
aren't sure you know exactly the best way to 
fix your land, fertilize, treat seed, plant, and 
the amount of grazing you should let your live- 
stock do. If you know all these things you will 
get the most from your winter grazing crops. 



Fallowing, correct fertilization, and proper 
planting must be done to succeed with this 
crop. Alfalfa will furnish grazing and hay, 
and is becoming one of Alabama's important 
feed crops. 

This crop will be planted in August and 
September after heavy applications of lime, 
superphosphate and muriate of potash are 
made, plus some borax. Farmers should fol- 
low to the letter the advice of their county 
agents on growing alfalfa. 

From September 15 to October 20 many 



farmers will plant Austrian winter peas, 
either alone or in a mixture with vetch, for 
grazing. Thirty pounds of inoculated seed, 
or more, are drilled or broadcast after fer- 
tilizer has been put on the land. 

Caley Peas In Black Belt 

In the Black Belt Caley peas will be plant- 
ed extensively for grazing in late winter and 
early spring, after cows come off oats. Caley 
peas are broadcast in September or October. 
The crop should not be grazed too heavily 
the first year after planting, but during the 
following years they may be grazed from fall 
until blooming begins in the spring. They 
are toxic to animals when the plants begin to 
bloom and make seed. 

Lappacea And Black Medic 

Lappacea clover and black Medic are two 
other crops that thrive in the Black Belt and 
furnish grazing and hay. Lappacea is plant- 
ed on a seedbed prepared several weeks 
ahead of sowing in late September or early 
October. Superphosphate and basic slag are 
necessary fertilizers. Black Medic has a high 
lime requirement and seed must be inoculat- 
ed. The crop will germinate in fall or spring 
and furnishes grazing in early spring. 



Forward With Alfalfa 

We have 14 demonstrators that have plant- 
ed and are succeeding with 60 acres of alfal- 
fa. These demonstrations are one and two 
years old and have made yields of one to 
one and one-half tons of hay per acre per cut- 
ting. Most of the demonstrators obtained 
four cuttings last year and I expect all of 
them to get four cuttings this year. 

Nine of the 14 demonstrators plan to in- 
crease their acreage this year and 14 addi- 
tional farmers plan to plant alfalfa for the 
first time. That is, 23 farmers have placed 
orders with me for enough seed to plant 188 
acres this September. This will bring the 
total acreage for the county up to 248. These 
demonstrators are following recommenda- 
tions of the Extension Service and the Experi- 
ment Station. — J. Olan Cooper, Lee County 
Agent.

GARDEN SUGGESTIONS 
FOR AUGUST 
W. A. Ruffin, 
Extension Entomologist 

There are just as many garden 
jobs to be done this month as there 
were in the month of March. 

What are some of these mid-sum- 
mer garden jobs? Clean the garden 
Get rid of old plants, weeds, and 
grass. It is more important that this 
be done now than it is in the spring. 
A heavy crop of weeds turned 
under just before planting the fall 
garden is one way to help insure 
complete failure. Remove this litter 
from the garden area before break- 
ing the soil. It can be used later 
for mulching. If available, apply a 
heavy application of well-decayed 
manure. Break the soil to a depth 
of 6 to 8 inches and harrow until

soil is in perfect condition for plant- 
ing. Apply commercial fertifizer at 
the rate of 10 pounds per hundred 
foot of row. On rows that are to 
be planted in beets, carrots, rutaba- 
gas, and turnips apply 10 pounds 
of basic slag or lime and 2 table- 
spoonsful of borax. Don't forget 
lime and borax are just as impor- 
tant to these crops as any other 
kind of fertilizer. 

It is very important that all kinds 
of seed be planted in firm well set- 
tled soil. Don't plant seed too deep. 
Walk on every seed. This brings 
them in close contact with the soil 
and moisture. Cover seed with soil 
that has been well pulverized. A 
garden rake is the only tool that is 
needed when planting most seed. 

A very light application of nitrate 
of soda should be applied to vege- 
tables as soon as they are up to a 
good stand. Apply the soda when 
the plants are dry. Plants should be 
thinned as soon as a good stand 
is established. 

The turnip web-worm will de- 
stroy a good stand of beets, broc- 
coli, cabbage, collards, and turnips 
in a few days. Dust these crops 
with ryolite or rotenone every ten 
days. The first application be made 
as soon as the plants are up to a 
good stand. 

Fresh vegetables are needed more 
during the fall and winter than they 
are at any other time. Start now 
and grow the best garden possible.

Alabama College To Admit Men Students 
For Regular Session Beginning September 9 



•% r. 



The ^ 

Montevallo Times 



VOL. XIV. — No. 17 MONTEVALLO, ALABAMA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1946 



Doctor A. F. Harman, President 
of Alabama College, today announc- 
ed that GI men students will be ad- 
mitted to Alabama College for the 
regular session, 1946-1947, which 
opens September 9. 

In his announcement President 
Harman emphasized the fact that 
the admission of men students to 
Alabama College next year is an 
emergency measure in conformity 
with the noteworthy efforts of 
Governor Sparks to provide high- 
ter education for the largest possi- 
ble number of Alabama veterans, 
both men and women. President 
Harman especially emphasized that 
the admission of men is a coopera- 
tive enterprise with the Governor 
of Alabama and with the other in- 
stitutions of higher learning promp- 
ted by a sense of duty to the men 
as well as to the women who, under 
the federal laws, are recognized as 
entitled to the benefits of higher 

Plans Made For 4-H 
Club Dairy Show 

Plans are now being made to have 
the 4-H Dairy Show in Columbiana 
sometime around the 24th of Sept- 
ember. This gives us about 6 weeks 
to get our animals ready for show. 

Showing dairy calves, heifers and 
cows is an opportunity that most 
4-H club members should take. It 
advertises his cattle and often 
brings in some prize money. 

Here are a few suggestions on fit- 
ting dairy animals for show. Ani- 
mals to be shown should be in good 
flesh, not fat. but smoothly cover- 
ed over all parts. 

Legume hay should be fed in a- 
bundance to all cattle being fitted 
for show. A grain mixture should 
also be fed. Cattle should be fed 
three times daily for a month be- 
fore showing. 

For a month before the show, ani- 
mals should be kept in a barn. After 
thoroughly washed and scrubbed 
with soap, they should be blanket- 
ed with light burlap blankets. From 
this time on. the animals should 
not be allowed to remain out of 
doors in the sun without their 
blankets, if their hides are to be 
kept mellow and soft. 

Clipping gives an appearance of 
firmness and quality to the animal 
that is difficult to get in any other 
manner. 

If the animal has horns, they 
should be scrapped lengthwise. 
When as smooth as they can be 
made, horns should be polished. 

The animal should also be taught 
to lead and stand to the best ad- 
vantage by constant training during 
the entire fitting program. 

Remember the time is short. Let's 
make our animals look good for the 
show. 

Annual 4-H Camp 

Attention 4-H boys and girls! The 
deadline for sending your $6.00 
camp fee is Friday August 16. Send 
the fee to Billy Whittaker, Colum- 
biana, Alabama. 

There will be an additional cost 
of around $2.00 for transportation 
plus $1.00 for your handicraft pro- 
ject making the total cost of the

The Camp will be held at Camp 
Mac in Talladega County. Camp

umbiana. The camp offers excellent

education which were denied to 
them during their service to the 
country in time of war. 

It is not contemplated, President 
Harman stated, that Alabama Col- 
lege will continue to admit men 
students when the emergency no 
longer exists. 

Throughout the war years and 
subsequently, Alabama College has 
held fast to its ideals as a standard, 
four-year college for women. It will 
not be possible for the College to 
alter substantially its several cur- 
ricula, or its program of instruc- 
tion, during this emergency. 

Alabama College has no housing 
facilities for men students. There- 
fore, its admission of men students 
will be limited to those men who 
can provide their own lodging ac- 
commodations in the Town of 
Montevallo or by commuting from 
any nearby localities in which they 
may reside.

ham three years ago to live with 
her niece, Mrs. Maggie Allen. 

She is survived by eight sons, S.

Alabama Cotton 
Report of August 1 

Alabama's cotton crop for 1946 is 
forecast at 900.000 bales of 500 
pounds; gross weight, according to 
a report released by the State Co- 
operative Crop Reporting Service. 
This report is based on information 
as of August 1. Such a production 
would be 31,000 bales less than the 
1945 crop and 116,000 bales less 
than the 10-year (1935-44) average. 
The indicated yield per acre of 288 
pounds is 31 pounds below that of 
1945 but is 40 pounds above the 10- 
year (1935-44) average for the State 
Allowing for average abandoment 
on the acreage in cultivation July 1, 
the area for harvest this year is 
computed at 1.498,000 acres which 
is 7 percent above the 1,400,000 acres 
harvested last year. 

The crop generally ■ is late and 
there is considerable complaint of 
excessive rain during July. Boll 
weevil activity is also reported 
above average in most sections of 
the State, especially in middle and 
southern counties. Per acre yields 
are expected to be below those of 
last year in all districts. 

Crisswell Returned 
From Florida Trip 

Mr. Charley Crisswell, proprietor 
of DeLuxe Cleaners, is back at' his 
post of business this week, feeling 
fine and fit as a fiddle. 

Mr. Crisswell "took off" last week 
and carried his family for a week's 
vacation at Panarna City. 

"We had a wonderful time," says 
Charley, "and I feel just like 'clean- 
ing up' the town for a while." Or 
course what Charley means is that 
he feels like cleaning up your 
clothes and getting them in shape 
for winter wear. 



Committee Report 
On Lighting Of 
Athletic Field 

' On Tuesday night, August 6th, 
W. M. Davis. Treasurer, reported 
eighteen solicitors had checked in 
and a total of $1,571 was on hand 
in cash. 

Then solicitors had not checked in 
at the time. It is estimated that 
there is an additional sum of six 
or seven hundred dollars in sight 
with these ten solicitors. 

About seventy contributors to the 
"Spot" Jones-Williams reward fund 
had signed cards authorizing pay- 
ment of their contributions to the 
lighting fund. It is estimated that 
at lesat five or six hundred dollars 
will be made available in this man- 
ner. 

It looks like a small amount of ef- 
fort this week will result in the 
completion of the drive for the 
$2,750, which was the original goal. 

All solicitors are requested to 
keep on workng and let's close out 
the drive not later than Friday 
night. 

The purchasing committee has 
been authorized, to place orders for 
the most critical items, and it is 
thought that the project can In- 
completed in time for the opening

It Is Up To You To 

There is an old story about a doc- 
tor who, with his office crowded 
with patients, walked out the back 
door one day and retired, claiming 
that all the patients were (a) just 
pretending to be sick, (b) sick be- 
cause they deserved to be, or (c) 
going to die eventually anyway. 

There are, here and yonder, some 
of us whose reasoning about the 
employment problems of returning 
veterans is comparable to the rea- 
soning behind the doctor's retire- 
ment. All the veterans who are not 
working, some of us say, are (a) 
unemployed because they don't real- 
ly want to work, (b) not up to the 
star-level jobs they have hitched 
their wagons to, or (c) likely to 
bump into a job eventually any- 
way. 

If practising physicians should 
universally accept our one doctor's 
thinking, your welfare and mine 
would move backward by some 
several hundred years to a darker 
and more precarious century. 
Should an entire community look 
at its veterans through the false 
logic with which the doctor dispos- 
ed of his patients, both community 
and veterans would, have a hollow

Hire That Veteran! 

victory for which we could not 
rightly be thankful. 

In our Employment Service Of- 
fice, where veterans come daily 
seeking jobs, we know that they 
want jobs — and, sensibly, the best 
jobs they are qualified to hold. We 
know this truth in spite of the few 
exceptions by which it, as all truth, 
is attended — The exception of the 
veteran who does prefer temporary 
Readjustment Allowances to steady 
employment. We know also that no 
community can safely be guided by 
the exception rather than the rule. 

There are 47 ( 000 veterans regis- 
tered with the Employment Ser- 
vice in Alabama. Many of them are 
seeking work through this office — 
well qualified veterans who, through 
us, are looking to employers of this 
area for jobs. Their need for jobs 
is real — too real for any of us to 
retire through the back door and 
join the above mentioned doctor. 

Let us send you veterans for all 
openings that now exist, or as they 
occur. The final selection and hir- 
ing is up to you. — E. D. Thornton, 
Manager, United States Employ- 
ment Service, Telephone Calera

Town Clean-Up Will 
Be Planned For 
50th Anniversary 

The citizens of Montevallo are re- 
quested to attend a meeting at the 
Montevallo Baptist Church on next 
Monday night at 7:30 o'clock. 

The purpose of the meeting is to

of the town prior to the celebration 
of the Fiftieth Anniversary of Ala- 
bama College in October. 

There will be many visitors here

Every local citizen should join 
heartily in the plans to have our 
town well cleaned up and polished 
for this great occasion. 

Rep. Jarman Loses 
Post As Chairman 

Washington, Aug. 14 — Rep. Pete 
Jarman of Livingston, Ala., is one 
of the House committee chairmen 
to be deprived of his office under 
the new congressional reorganiza- 
tion bill. 

Because he has had the unusual 
distinction of being a committee 
chairman all but the first eight days 
since his arrival 10 years ago. Mr. 
Jarman took occasion to put a sort 
of valedictory of his chairmanship 
in the post-session Congressional 
Record out today. 

"It was my unusual good fortune 
to become chairman of the Me- 
morials Committee on my eighth 
day as a member of the House," Mr- 
Jarman explained. 

"I resigned that post to become 
chairman of the Printing Commit- 
tee, by virtue of which I also be- 
came vice chairman of the Joint 
Committee on Printing, two years 
later. I simultaneously became a 
member of the Foreign Affairs 
Committee and the only majority 
member on both a major and a 
minor committee. Consequently my 
work load has been a double one." 

Thanking his colleagues for co- 
operation and asserting that he has 
enjoyed the committee work, Mr. 
Jarman concluded : 

"Under the reorganization act, 
which prevents service on more 
than one major committee, the per- 
formance of the Printing Commit- 
tee will be transferred to the House 
Committee on Administration, to 
the chairman I wish to offer any 
co-operation and assistance I can 
possibly render him as he assumes 
this important obligation to the 
House and its membership." 

Taxi Headquarters

Deacon Gregg, operator of the 
taxi service in Montevallo, announ- 
ces that he will have his headquar- 
ters at the bus station until further 
notice owing to the fact that Wool- 
ley's Cafe will be closed for vaca- 
tion the next two weeks. 

Those who desire taxi service 
may get it by calling for Mr. Gregg 
in day time at phone 4611, or 6936 
at night.

GET IN THE "CLEAN UP" 

Montevallo citizens should go to 
the meeting at the Baptist Church 
next Monday night and take hold 
of the proposition to clean up the 
town preparatory to the coming of 
visitors for the Fiftieth Anniversary 
of Alabama College in October. 

This will be the biggest occasion 
Montevallo has ever had. It will 
bring an unprecedented number of 
visitors. They will come from all 
over Alabama, as well as from 
other states. 

All will agree that our town 
should be spruced up to its very 
best for this occasion. The proper 
effort toward cleaning up the ugly 
places will make for a better im- 
pression upon the visitors. 

We can and should do a good job 
of this proposal. We, ourselves, 
would like our town better if we 
cleaned it up.

ATTENTION 



Certain parties of this community are circulating 
untrue and unfair rumors about me in connection with 
my business and private life. All of these rumors which 
have come to my attention can be proved false. I have 
tried to conduct my business in a way which will be a 
credit to myself and to the community, and will continue 
to do so in the future. 



To my many friends who have ignored these false 
rumors I wish to express my sincere appreciation and 
assure them that I will continue to appreciate their pat- 
ronage and support.

Five Dollar License 
Plates Sought For 
Alabama Motorists 

Five dollar license plates "for all 
passenger automobiles" in Alabama 
today was the 1947 aim of the Ala- 
bama Motorists Association. 

The plan to give every motorist 
in Alabama a license plate for the 
flat fee of $5 came to light this 
week in Birmingham following a

meeting of the Alabama Motorists 
Association's Board of Directors. 

The Directors voted unanimously 
"that the Association advocate and 
endeavor to obtain an Alabama 
$5.00 license plate for all passenger 
cars." 

"Other states, including some of 



our neighboring Southern states, 
have flat fees of $5 and less for 
automobile license plates and there 
is no valid reason why Alabama 
should not," declared President 
Mark Hodo, of the Alabama Motor- 
ists Association, in launching the 
campaign.

THANK YOU 

for waiting for delivery of your 

NEW CHEVROLET 

We are doing our best to see that you 
get your new car as quickly as possible

We want to thank our customers and pro- 
spective customers for your friendly 
patience while awaiting your new 
Chevrolets. 

We know it is a hardship to wait for 
needed transportation; but we believe 
you will understand that we, and 
Chevrolet, are as eager to deliver cars as 
you are to obtain them. Unfortunately, 
production so far this year is far under 
expectations. Chevrolet Motor Division 
sums up the situation thus: 

"Even though our rate of production 
normally exceeds that of any other 
manufacturer, we have been able to 
build, up to July 1, only 12.4 per cent 
as many cars as we had built up to 
that date in 1941. Production is still 
far below normal, because of fre- 
quent shortages of essential mate- 
rials and parts. Strike after strike at the 
plants of our suppliers has seriously 
impeded our progress toward full 
production, and the cumulative 
effect severely hampers every manu- 
facturing and assembly plant. In 
June we were able to build only 
29.2 per cent as many cars as we 
produced in the same month in 
1941." 

While production is restricted, to— in 
proportion — are shipments of cars to us. 
As production increases, we are assured 
of getting our proportionate share of the 
total — and as quickly as cars are received, 
we will speed deliveries to our customers:

out of the same basket 

Telephone materials for catching up 
on thousands of applications for tele- 
phones, extending farm telephone service, and providing 
more long distance facilities all come from the same basket. 
It's a big basket, but war communication demands emptied 
it and left us way behind in switchboards, buildings, cables 
and everything telephone service requires. 

In spite of hampering shortages of raw materials — load, 
copper, steel and the like — we're making progress. And 
we won't let up until there's plenty of service, local and 
long distance, for town and farm.

stituted for the rye grass. A good 
liberal application of basic slag, 
0-14-10 or acid phosphate should be 
applied before planting followed 
with 200 pounds nitrate of soda or 
its equivalent as a top dressing as 
soon as the crop is up to a stand. 

On checking with dairymen and 
beef producers we find that they 
are satisfied with their business 
where they have winter grazing and 
a good summer pasture. 

It is not too late to prepare for 
which should be done in late Sep- 
tember or early October. 

The land should be turned, and 
disced thoroughly, then one ton 
basic slag and 100 pounds muriate 
of potash applied or one ton lime 
and 800 pounds 0-14-10 per acre. 

The seeding should be 3 pounds 
white dutch clover, 25 pounds dallis 
grass, 5 pounds blue grass and 5 
pounds orchard grass per acre.

At Camp Branch 

Mildred Vanderslice of Camp 
Branch 4-H club has sewing as her 
project. After completing her pro-

quite a bit of spending money this 
summer from sewing for the people 
in her neighborhood. She has made 
shorts and halters, embroidered pil- 
low cases and made sewing boxes 
from cigar boxes. 

The tops of the cigar boxes are 
padded with cotton, covered with 
print and inside small pin cushions 
are included. She uses small nails 
for spool holders. This made very 
nice sewing boxes.

POLITICAL BEDFELLOWS 

Not all political bedfellows are 
strange. Most of them get along 
pretty well. People, even politicians, 
have a way of seeking their own 
kind and their own level. Perhaps 
Gov.-Nominate Folsom has been do- 
ing that in his current trip in the 
East. Or perhaps he is being court- 
ed by certain elements in the Demo- 
cratic party. 

At Washington, Big Jim talked 
with President Truman on party 
finances, it is said, and also with 
Sen. Lister Hill, Sen-Nominate Jahn 
Sparkman, Associate Justice Hugo 
Black, and Commerce Secretary 
Wallace, all good Democrats of a 
liberal complexion. But our Jim was 
not permitted to stop there. He was 
urged to go on to New York, after 
being an honor guest in Washing- 
ton at a dinner given by Robert 
Hannegan, Democratic national 
chairman. Truman, Wallace, Black 
and Hill were also among the 20 
guests. It was, so everybody is in- 
sisting, merely a social occasion. 

But Folsom on his first trip to the 
nation's official and financial capi- 
tals since his nomination definitely 
has aligned himself or permitted 
himself to be aligned with the pro- 
gressive elements in the Democratic 
Party. In that respect, he is not 
being inconsistent with his past, 
which includes support of Henry 
Wallace at the Chicago national 
convention. — Birmingham Age-

Can You Pur 

This Puzzle Together? 




of a Biq Bargain for your Business 

Here's a fascinating little puzzle. When properly as- 
sembled it forms the letter T — for telephone. 

Now there's an instrument of progress which has 
grown so in value that the only puzzling thing about the 
telephone is how business ever managed to get along 
without it. Today there are twice as many telephones as 
there were 20 years ago — five times as many as there 
•were 30 years ago! As telephone service has grown, so 
has your own business. More telephones — more custom- 
ers — more business for you. 

Not only in value and usefulness, but in cost, the tele- 
phone stands out as a real bargain. Consider that your 
telephone rate is less today than it was years ago. This 
record, this genuine achievement, is becoming more and 
more difficult to maintain. That's because the trend of 
rising costs confronting all businesses is increasing the 
cost of everything going into the furnishing of telephone 
service to you.

Cotton and tobacco alone provide

of French at Alabama College, is 
now in France where she is a guest 
of the French Government which 
has been entertaining a small group 
of American college and university 
professors of French during the

ing quarters abroad, and other 
necessary accommodations. 

All educational facilities in 
France such as libraries, museums, 
and archives have been open to the 
guests, and a number of joint 
conferences for American and 
French educational leaders have 
been held. 

Miss Pierson has been director 
of foreign students at Alabama 
College for a number of years. Her 
plans for her European visit in- 
clude a visit to the school in Lor- 
raine which was adopted by the 
French classes here on the cam- 
pus. She took with her gifts to the 
children from 75 students here who 
have been corresponding with and 
supporting the French children. 

While in France, Miss Pierson 
will purchase books for the French 
collection in the college library, 
and do research on French litera- 
ture written during the war.

rangements for the proposed Clean- 
Up Campaign in Montevallo an- 
nounces that the actual work of 
cleaning up the town will begin in 
earnest on Monday, September 9.

and refuse collected in the process 
of cleaning up. Councilman J. A. 
Brown should be notified of your

truck.

arrangements for tools and ma- 
chines that may be used in the 
work of cleaning off property.

may be loaned to others are re- 
quested to let Mr. Chism know 
about them so he may list them. 

Mrs. Frances Givhan has charge 
of arrangements for cleaning up the 
vacant lots, with particular refer- 
ence to lots owned by people who

which is sponsored by the local 
county committee of the Alabama 
Society for Crippled Children, She- 
lby County donated $1,534.04 for the 
care of its crippled children and 
adults. Each year the local county 
committee raises funds to supple- 
ment the State and Federal funds 
for Shelby County's crippled child- 
ren and adults. This provides for a 
larger number of children to receive 
treatment under the State Program. 
This fund is administered by the 
State Rehabilitation and Crippled 
Children's Services under the direc- 
tion of the State Department of 
Education. 

During the fiscal year 1945-46, 
$2,933.66 were spent on 33 children 
in Shelby County. Ther.e are 120 
children on the register to be treat- 
ed. 

Follow-up work in securing hos- 
pitalization, operations, appliances, 
and vocational training is done by 
the social workers and orthopedic 
nurses of the Crippled Children's 
Service, supervisors of Vocational 
Rehabilitation, and local depart- 
ments of education, health and wel- 
fare. Mr. Roy Downs of Calera is 
County Chairman of the Shelby 
County Society for Crippled Child- 
ren. The following members of the 
chapter : Mrs. Gladys Crump, Mon- 
tevallo; Mrs. Z. S. Cowart, Calera; 
Mrs. J. T. Lacey, Siluria; Mrs. 
George Scott, Alabaster; Mrs. Lu- 
ther Fowler, Columbiana; Mrs. R. 
R. Roberson, Wilsonville, Mrs. 
Frank Wyatt, Harpersville ; Mrs. R. 
T. McGraw, Vincent; assisted him 
with the Easter Seal and Fund 
Raising Campaign. The drive was 
successful this year and it is hop- 
ed that interest will continue in this 
worthwhile program. 

All crippled children cases should 
he reported to the county education 
health And welfare departments. 
They will advise you regarding the 
State Program and how it is admin- 
istered. 



50th Anniversary To 
Feature Pageant 

The fiftieth birthday of Alabama 
College will be celebrated on Oct- 
ober 12, withi a pageant, which will 
consist of more than twenty-five 
brief episodes, ranging in date from 
1867 to the present time. It is in 
reality an historical picture of the 
town as well as of the college and 
affords an unusual opportunity for 
school and community co-operation. 
The cast will include some forty 
men and women of the town, and 
about two hundred students, in ad- 
dition to the backstage crews will 
number about one hundred more 
students. 

In order to keep the many epi- 
sodes within the maximum of two 
hours playing time, the organization 
of the pageant is of the utmost im- 
portance. Equally important per- 
haps is finding the exact items for 
each period. In this latter matter, 
the people of the community will, 
we hope, collaborate in every way 
possible. If you can assist with cos- 
tumes, properties, or ideas, please 
•communicate with us at the earliest 
possible moment. We shall be most 
grateful. — Walter H. Trumbauer, 
Director of the Pageant; Milton L. 
Orr, Chairman of the Anniversary 
Committee.

CLEAN UP THE TOWN 

The machinery of operation for 
staging the clean-up program in 
Montevallo has been thoroughly set 
up by the commitees in charge. 

The work is to start Monday, 
September 9 and continue until the 
job is satisfactorily done. The pur- 
pose behind this effort is to have 
Montevallo in shape to present a 
clean face to the visitors who will 
come here in October for the Fif- 
tieth Anniversary Celebration at 
Alabama College. 

It is a worthy purpose. It is a 
job that needs doing, and we believe 
it will meet with the hearty re- 
sponse of all Montevallo citizens. 

Elsewhere in this paper is a story 
about the details of planning and 
carrying out the work. It gives the 
names of different key people in 
charge of all phases of the program. 
Read it and make plans now to co- 
operate by having your property 
cleaned up thoroughly. If you need 
advise or assistance, call on the 
proper person and you can get it.

Lies the Might of America 



FRANCIS I. KILLINGS WORTH 

Seven years ago, upon graduation 
from Montevallo High School, 
Francis Inzer Killingsworth made 
up his mind he would go to Auburn 
and get a college education in en- 
gineering. 

All he had to go on was a wealth 
of determination to find some way 
'to accomplish his ambition. 

This week he is back home with 
his sheepskin and his friends are 
proudly congratulating him upon his 
noble achievement. 

Furthermore, Francis has not 
only finished his college education 
in the last seven years but along 
with it he put in three years of 
service in the Army which carried 
him to the back| side of Europe by 
time the shooting stopped. 

The Times is proud of Francis 
("Cotton"). He was our printers 
devil while he was in high school. 
He has proved that there is yet a 
chance for a young man to get up 
in this world if he has the grit in 
his craw. 

That he has a magnificent future 
is a foregone conclusion. We wish 
him every good reward that can 
come for his honest effort and 
downright hard work. 




APPLES AND WHEAT 

A third of the Nation's apple crop 
Is produced in the State of Wash- 
ington. The eastern section annual- 
ly produces 40 million bushels of 
wheat. Dairy and poultry products 
have increased tremendously in re- 
cent years to add resources to the 
Nation's wealth that guarantees 
Victory Bonds.

College Expects 
Largest Enrollment 

President A. F. Harman auth- 
orized the statement today that the 
college will have quite the largest 
enrollment since before the war, 
even possibly the largest enroll- 
ment in the history of the school. 
Present registrations indicate a to- 
tal enrollment of 850 to 900 stu- 
dents which will tax the housing 
facilities of the college to the limit. 

Dr. Harman stated further that 
entering freshmen will exceed in 
number any similar group during 
any previous year of the college. 
It is anticipated that at least 400 
freshmen will be in residence on 
the campus this year. 



Summer Students

Graduation exercises for thir- 
teen seniors were held in Palmer 
Hall at 8 p.m., August 20. Dr. M.

FARM AND HOME 



(A A. Lauderdale, County Agent; Marian Cotney, Home Demonstration 
Agent; E. H. Wilton, Assistant County Agent; Alma Robinson, Assistant 
Home Demonstration Agent.) 



Cotton farmers who have quali- 
fied for government classing off 
their cotton under the Smith- 
Doxey Act, were urged this week 
by County Agricultural Agent, A. 
A. Lauderdale, to know the grade 
and staple of each bale they pro- 
duce. 

"Today, with the cost of living 
and operating the farm greatly in- 
creased, it is more important than 
ever before that growers get full 
value for their cotton," Mr. Lauder- 
dale explained. 

"In view of prospects for a short 
crop and high prices, the little extra 
effort to get the 'green card' or 
government classification certific- 
ate," he continued, "may easily 
make the difference between a pro- 
fit and a loss." 

Members of cotton improvement 
groups whose applications have 
been approved to receive the clas- 
sification and market news services 
may have their bonded sample 
send samples to the nearest govern- 
ment classing office. Within two or 
three days, the grower will have 
the official grade and staple report- 
ed to him on the "green card". This 
card, together with price quotations 
and market reports, enables the 
grower to determine the approxi- 
mate, value of his cotton. 

The Cotton Branch of the 
USDA's Production and Marketing 
Administration supplies g i n n e r s 
with necessary bags and tags for 
samples and pays the postage.

MONTEVALLO, ALA. 





The Southern Bell family is made up 
of a whale of a lot of folks. As far as 
we know, it's the largest group em- 
ployed by any company in the nine 
Southeastern states. 

Operators, engineers, accountants, 
maintenance, construction, business 
office and administrative personnel— 
there are 45,000 busy telephone people. 
But that's not all. The number quickly 
grows to an astonishingly large part 



of the South's population when you 
picture each telephone member in his 
own family circle and count about 
four noses to the family. You see, di- 
rectly or indirectly, they're all inter- 
ested in giving you the kind of tele- 
phone service you want night and day. 

Telephone people are your friends 
and neighbors — the kind of folks you 
like to rub elbows with. You always 
know them by the voice with a smile.

PENNSYLVANIA GLASS 

Henry W. Se^el, ironmaster who 
turned to blowing and molding deli- 
cate and beautiful glassware, pio- 
neered an 1 industry in Pennsylvania 
that leads the Nation In many 
grades. Albert Gallatin, once Sec- 
retary of the Treasury, established 
the first flint glass industry at Pitts- 
burgh in 1807. It adds wealth to 
guarantee Savings Bonds.

Alabama College is a pioneer. Mrs. 
Lee will also assume responsibility 
for the college's program of pub- 
licity and serve as the agent of the 
school in providing to the people 
of the state services not specific- 
ally assigned to other officers of 
the college. 

President Harman expressed the 



hope that further reorganization 
may be perfected to the end that 
the college will continue to render 
good and effective service to its 
patrons and to the citizens of the 
state. 

Alternations and repairs to Main 
Dormitory, amounting to $170,000, 
which have been under way since 
June, will not be completed by 
September 9. In the meantime, 
dating arrangements for students 
residing in this dormitory will be 
temporarily provided for in Rey- 
nolds Hall with members of the 
senior class serving as assistant 
hostesses. 



An addition to the new dining 
room is now being erected. When 
this addition is finished, the quad- 
rangle formed by Ramsay, Tut- 
wiler, Hanson and the new dining 
room will be complete. 



Protein foods, such as fish and 
eggs, should not be "boiled", say 
home economists of the U. S. De- 
partment of Agriculture, but should 
be simmered- that is, cooked in 
water just below the boiling point. 
Greater tenderness results from 
cooking longer at a lower tempera- 
ture, since boiling toughens protein.

50th Anniversary To 
Feature Pageant 

The fiftieth birthday of Alabama 
College will be celebrated on Oct- 
ober 12, with! a pageant, which will 
consist of more than twenty-five 
brief episodes, ranging in date from 
1867 to the present time. It is in 
reality an historical picture of the 
town as well as of the college and 
affords an unusual opportunity for 
school and community co-operation. 
The cast will include some forty 
men and women of the town, and 
about two hundred students, in ad- 
dition to the backstage crews will 
number about one hundred more 
. students. 

In order to keep the many epi- 
sodes within the maximum of two 
hours playing time, the organization 
of the pageant is of the utmost im- 
portance. Equally important per- 
haps is finding the exact items for 
each period. In this latter matter, 
the people of the community will, 
we hope, collaborate in every way 
possible. If you can assist with cos- 
tumes, properties, or ideas, please 
communicate with us at the earliest 
possible moment. We shall be most 
grateful. — Walter H. Trumbauer, 
Director of the Pageant; Milton L. 
Orr, Chairman of the Anniversary 
Committee.

We are anxious for all veterans 
to be fully informed about their 
rights and benefits in connection 
with their Social Security program, 
especially since Congress has re- 
cently made certain changes in the 
Act. Many questions have been 
raised which we would like to 
clarify for the benefit of the veter- 
ans. Do you fully understand your 
rights and benefits? Are you fami- 
liar with the changes just recently 
made by Congress? 

Are you starting a new business? 

Do you need a duplicate Social 
Security number? 



Football Team 
Schedules Games 




The Montevallo High School 
football team will open the season 
September 20 when they will meet 
Thompson High School, the game 
to be played at Montevallo. 

Under their new coach, Mr. Ross 
Ford, the local eleven has a hard 
fast schedule of seven games and 
three open dates which are to be 
filled if possible. 

Montevallo's new coach, Mr. Ford 
is a graduate of Auburn, and a for- 
mer varsity football star at that 
school. He has had a number of 
years coaching experience over the 
state, and served in the armed 
forces during World War II: Last 
year Mr. Ford was athletic director 
at Tuskegee High School. 

It is hoped that the new lighting 
system for the local football field 
will be in operation in time for the 
first game to be played at night, 
however shortages in some materi- 
als may make it impossible to have 
the equipment ready by September 
20. 

The following is the schedule for 
the coming year : 

Sept. 20 — Siluria at Montevallo. 

Sept. 27— West Blocton at West 
Blocton. 

Oct. 4 — Open 

Oct. 11— Open 

Oct. 18 — Centerville at Monte- 
vallo. 

Oct. 25 — Columbiana at Monte- 
vallo. 
Nov. 1 — Open. 

Nov. 8 — Clanton at Clanton. 
Nov. 18 — Cordova at Cordova. 
Nov. 22 — Vincent at Montevallo. 



TOWN HOUSE RESTAURANT

Veteran Contact 
Representative To 
Visit Montevallo 

Every veteran in this area may 
not be able to go to the Veterans 
Administration, so the Veterans 
Administration is coming here. 

As an additional service to veter- 
ans in this area. Mr. G. C. Shogren 
V. A. Contact Representative from

vallo Rotary Club tomorrow night 
on Industrial Developments. 

Dr. Barkefield received his A.B. 
at Union College in Tennessee, 
A.M. at Baylor in Texas, and Ph.D. 
at the University of California. He 
has had several years experience as 
a college professor, and served as 
a Major in the Ordnance Depart- 
ment of the Army for over three 
years in World War II. Dr. Brake- 
field is a member of the Birming- 
ham Civitan Club, and served as 
President of Civitan International

Dance To Benefit 
Field Lighting Fund 

A dance will be held at the high 
school auditorium on Saturday, 
night September 7, at 9:00. Music 
will be provided by Tommy Hen- 
derson's Orchestra. Admission will 
be one dollar a couple. The public 
is cordially invited. 

Proceeds from this dance will go 
to the Montevallo High School Ath- 
letic Field Lighting Project. Funds 
which have been raised by the 
Rotary Club are a little short of the 
required amount, and it is hoped 
that receipts from the dance will 
cover that difference.

This Month In Rural Alabama

Let's Watch Mai ana; It's Dangerous 



(Prepared especially for This Month in Rural Ala- 
bama by the State Department of Health.) 

AS long ago as 1600 the people of Peru 
were using the bark from their native 
trees in the treatment of malaria. 

Too, it is said that a Spanish woman of 
noble birth, the Countess del Chinchon, gave 
this bark credit for her own recovery in 1638, 
and, upon her return to Spain about two years 
later, carried some of it with her. 

After that its fame as a malaria medicine 
spread rapidly, and Louis XIV of France was 
so pleased with the results of his own use of 
it that he gave $240,000 in cash and a yearly 
income of $10,000 to the person who had fur- 
nished it to him. 

About a century later the tree from which 
that life-saving bark had been obtained be- 
gan to be known as the Chinchona tree and 
in 1820 the product was made available in 
the form of an extract. We know it as qui- 
nine. 

How Malaria Works 

The parasites responsible for malaria are so 
small that they can be seen only with a pow- 
erful microscope. They are incapable of 
growth in the sense that a person or a plant 
grows. Instead, they split up, and in time 
a single parasite may increase to 32. While 
in the human body they live in the red blood 
cells, which are tiny bodies floating in the 
blood and performing the important function 
of carrying life-giving oxygen from one part 
of the body to the other. As might be gath- 
ered from their name, these red blood cells 
give blood its characteristic red color. 

Each of the eight, 16 or 32 parasites that 
are formed from the single parasite we are 
considering begins splitting up as it did, and 
it is estimated that at the end of ten days a 
single parasite may "father" more than 30,- 
000,000 others. 

Parasites Do Not Mate 

Unlike most other forms of reproduction, 
including the human, this does not depend 
upon the pairing of male and female. As sug- 
gested above, the "growth" of malaria para- 
sites is more in the nature of rapid division, 
or splitting up, than of birth in the commonly 
accepted sense. During the period of divi- 
sion there is a distinct separation along sex 
lines, both male and female parasites being 
created. 



The damage which these multiplied mil- 
lions of malaria parasites do consists of the 
destruction of the body's red blood cells. 
When that is done, a person may be said to 
be a victim of malaria. 

Mosquitoes Carry Malaria 

Whenever a person with malaria is bitten 
by the malaria mosquito, known as the Ano- 
pheles quadrimaculatus, the mosquito takes 
into its own body some of his blood and with 
it the parasites which it contains. These pro- 
duce other parasites, which develop in the 
mosquito's body and, after from eight to 14 
days, make their way into the mosquito's sa- 
liva. It is a relatively simple matter then for 
them to be transferred to the blood stream 
of the next person whom the mosquito bites. 
Thus the cruel cycle — from man to mosquijbo 
to man — is completed. 

Death May Result 

Quinine, which reigned for centuries as the 
unchallenged best, and indeed virtually the 
only, remedy for malaria, now has several 
rivals, most of them synthetics. Their task is 
to cure the disease by destroying the malaria 
parasites before they get the upper hand in 
their battle against the red blood cells. When 
that battle goes in favor of the red blood cells 
(with or without the aid of drugs), the pa- 
tient rapidly recovers. If such outside as- 
sistance is not to be had and the patient's 
natural resistance is not strong enough for 
the red blood cells to win unaided, his con- 
dition grows worse and he either succumbs 
to the disease or becomes a chronic malaria 
victim. 

Use trees and shrubs 
to screen ugly views. 




Niacin In Chicken 

FRIED breast of chicken has more to offer 
than fine flavor and substantial protein 
and calories. Recent research by poultry 
specialists shows that the breast of chicken 
is an excellent source of niacin — the impor- 
tant anti-pellegra B-vitamin. 

Tests show that the concentration of this 
vitamin is especially high in the flesh of 
young chickens — that is, broilers and fryers. 
Findings indicate that chicken breast con- 
tains more niacin than any other muscle meat 
thus far tested and compares favorably with 
pork liver and beef liver which are recogniz- 
ed as rich sources of this vitamin. 

Pigs Need Pasture 

OTART pigs from 10 to 14 days of age on 
^ creep. A good pig starter is shelled corn, 
self-fed and skim milk in trough daily. If 
milk is not available, another good mixture 
is 70 pounds of coarse-ground shelled corn, 
20 pounds of wheat shorts, and 10 pounds of 
tankage, all mixed and self-fed. 

Pigs should be farrowed and kept on new 
pasture where good grazing is available. Ken- 
tucky experiments show that one acre of good 
alfalfa, clover or lespedeza grazed to ca- 
pacity, can replace 1,000 pounds of grain, 
500 pounds of protein supplement. However, 
some animal protein is needed with pasture 
when pigs are full fed. Pasture helps keep 
pigs healthy and land becomes more fertile 
because pigs distribute their droppings over 
an area. 



Lime Increases Oats 

CLEMSON Agricultural College reports 
that in a recent test on the effect of lim- 
ing, the oat yield was 9,378 pounds per acre 
where 1000 pounds of lime was applied in 
the early spring as compared with 6,239 per 
acre where no lime was used. 

The test, showing a difference of 3,139 
pounds per acre in favor of lime, was made 
just before the oats were cut in a rather early 
stage. The experimenters noted that a per- 
son could easily see the difference between 
oats growing in limed soil and oats with no 
lime. A difference in lespedeza growing on 
the soil was also noticeable, they said.

They Converted It 



MR. and Mrs. Henry Stanley, Route 2, Montgom- 
ery, Alabama, have converted an old dance hall 
into an attractive home. Here are pictures which 
tell the story: 

Photo 1 shows the old dance hall with the barbecue 
pit at the back. Picture 2 shows the home as it stands 
today. Both pictures were made from the same spot. 
Photos 3 shows part of one of the four bed rooms, 
4 part of the bath room, 5 part of the living room 
and 6 another of the four bed rooms. 

Mr. and Mrs. Stanley "are crazy" about antique 
furniture and "get a big kick out" of converting old 
glass lamps and bottles into attractive electric lamps, 
reports Mrs. Mamie Thorington, home agent. 






■HnMHi 



Dixie Wonder Pea Not Recommended 



RESULTS from tests of the Dixie wonder pea by 
the Agricultural Experiment Station, A. P. I., do 
not support some of the optimistic .claims made for 
it as a winter legume in Alabama. 

Actually the Dixie wonder pea is a selection or 
strain of the Austrian winter pea, and is a product of 
Oregon. However, the new strain is not as resistant 
to cold weather as its parent, the Austrian winter pea. 

While the Dixie wonder pea may not be suited to 
the northern part of the State, it may have a place 
on some southern Alabama farms, where for one rea- 
son or another winter legumes have to be planted un- 
usually late. 

Dixie wonder pea when planted earlier than mid- 
October resulted in failures or near failures at Au- 
burn. On the other hand, seedings on October 14 and 



November 1 gave yields of 15,000 to 12,000 pounds 
of green matter per acre respectively. 

Low yields were obtained in two years' tests at the 
Tennessee Valley Substation near Belle Mina, even 
when seeding rates of 50 to 100 pounds per acre 
were "used. Because other winter legumes are more 
suited, it was concluded that the Dixie wonder pea had 
no place in the farming program in the Tennessee Val- 
ley section of the State. Similar unfavorable results 
were obtained at the Alexander Experiment Field 
north of Anniston. 

Much higher yields of green matter can be obtained 
consistently from blue lupine in southern Alabama 
than from the Dixie wonder pea. Furthermore, lupine 
is a heavy seed producer, which eliminates the need 
for annual purchases of planting seed.

Pigs Need Salt 

THAT pigs need salt just as do dairy and 
beef cattle was forcefully shown in an 
experiment by Iowa State Agricultural Col- 
lege in which one lot of pigs not receiving salt 
took 218 days to reach 300 pounds average, 
while another lot permitted free access to 
salt, but otherwise fed in exactly the same 
manner, took only 158 days to reach 300 
pounds. 

Similar results were obtained in a recent 
feeding test at Purdue University when pigs 
receiving no salt weighed only 174 pounds on 
the average, while those receiving salt av- 
eraged 250 pounds at the close of the 85-day 
feeding period. The salt may be fed in the 
mineral mixture or pigs may be given free ac- 
cess to salt. 




This Month In Rural Alabama 



They Celebrate 25 Years Of oervice 




These are the ladies who were honored at the recent anniversary meeting of the Talladega County Home 
Demonstration Clubs at Winterboro School. Each received a certificate of distinction for 25 years excellent 
work in the club activities. 

They are as follows from left to right, first row seated: Mrs. Dameron Christie, Miss Annie Cook, 
Mesdames B. F. Caldwell, Mamie Russell, Easley Caldwell; second row seated: Mesdames Anna Norred, Owen 
Rorie, I. W. Rhodes, John T. Roberson, W. L. Morris, C. C. Cook, H. H. Cook, and Sim Christie; third row 
standing: Mesdames Willie Epperson, P. A. Duncan, W. E. Turner, H. H. Hamilton, W. D. Smith, O. G. Stewart, 
Alex Camp, J. R. Carter, and Paul Thompson. Mesdames W. L. Pruitt, J. Oscar Robinson, John Tyson, and 
G. E. Roper were not present when the picture was taken. 



of the first home demonstration clubs to be organized 
— in fact W. C. Coker, county agent, had what he 
called the Winterboro Community Club, even before 
Miss Davis came. Mrs. I. W. Rhodes was one of those 
very first club women — and along about that time 
they made fireless cookers. 

Mrs. Shaddix: Fireless cookers! Impossible. 

Mrs. Bishop: No, I find here that 27 cookers were 
made in 1918 and Mrs. Rhodes used one. 

1919-1920 

Mrs. Bishop: In 1919 Miss Elizabeth Mauldin came 
to us as home agent. Her special hobby was bees. 
Mrs. Hudson Hamilton, shown in the background of 
the picture, did lots of work with bees, and in fact, 
they still have bees. Miss Mauldin also worked with 
grapes and lots of the girls planted scuppernongs. 
Mrs. Hamilton's daughter, June, had some of those 
vines planted that are still in production. 

1921-1925 

It was in 1921 that Miss Harriet Plowden came to 
the county as our third home agent. 

The work with the girls continued to be the main 
part of the program. That year they had a biscuit 
contest. Alma Carter, now Mrs. George Culver, was 
winner of that contest and got a trip to the State 
Short Course at Auburn. 

Making dress forms — and here is one of those just 
like those very forms made that year. 

Lots of iceless refrigerators were made and Mrs. 
Russell here made and used one a long time. 

Steam pressure cooker demonstrations were as novel 
to us then as the pressure boilers are today. 

Here are some pictures of some hats that we made 
about that time. These were made of gingham and 
other materials that we used at home. Most of them 
cost 50c to 75c each. If we had bought these hats in 
town they would have cost $1.70 to $3.50. It seems 
that Mrs. Alex Camp made quite a number of these 
hats. 

Just look at this old picture of Mrs. T. H. Floyd 
with her bathing suit that she made to wear in swim- 
ming when we went on our first home demonstration 
club camp. 

In contrast look at the bathing suit Mrs. Horace 
Camp made for herself just the other day. 

Mrs. Shaddix: Such a dream — and a contrast — can 
you imagine it? 




WHEN celebrating the 25th anniversary 
of the Talladega Home Demonstration 
Clubs, Talladega County women staged a 
pageant depicting 25 years of progress. The 
pageant started with Mrs. M. E. Bishop seat- 
ed on the stage as Mrs. John Shaddix enter- 
ed. Here is their conversation: 




show you this scrap book. This will give you an idea 
of the progress that we as club women have made 
in the home demonstration club work since its organ- 
ization in 1915. 

Mrs. Shaddix: That sounds interesting, I would like 
to see it. 

1915-1919 

Mrs. Bishop: Here is a copy of the resolutions pass- 
ed by the county board of commissioners in July, 1915, 
appropriating $300.00 for the year for the work. It 
was some time before that date that Miss Ann Davis 
came to the county as our first home demonstration 
agent. Her first work was with tomato clubs — Here's 
a picture of one of the first tomato club girls. She is 
now Mrs. Owen Rorie, and is a member of the Lanier's 
Home Demonstration Club. The women wanted a part 
in the work, so in 1916 we find the first records of 
women's clubs being organized. Winterboro was one 



Mrs. John Shaddix and Mrs. M. E. Bishop as they 
check the scrap book of the Talladega Club. 

Mrs. Shaddix: I've been looking everywhere for you 
— I've even been down to your house, and they told 
me I would find you at the school building. 

Mrs. Bishop: Yes, I came on a little early to see 
that everything was in order for the big celebration 
we are having here this afternoon. 

Mrs. Shaddix: The big celebration? 

Mrs. Bishop: Don't tell me you have forgotten about 
the program honoring the women of Talladega County 
who have been in home demonstration work for 25 
years or more. 

Mrs. Shaddix: Well, I had forgotten — I had forgot- 
ten all about it! 

Mrs. Bishop: I hope you are not like some women 
we have — forget their own club meeting. 

Mrs. Shaddix: Don't tell this on me. 

Mrs. Bishop: Let's forget it. You just stay and I'll

ago.

Floyd the old. 

Mrs. Bishop: The advisory council that we now know 
as the council of home demonstration clubs was or- 
ganized in 1924 with the late Mrs. John Morris as 
president. She was the first woman member of board 
of directors of the State Farm Bureau and served as 
first president of the state council of home demon- 
stration clubs. 

Mrs. Shaddix: The county is very proud of our Mrs. 
Morris' record. 

1925-1930 

Mrs. Bishop: From 1925 to 1930 we did much with 
our home improvement work and conducted a kitchen 
contest. Mrs. W. E. Turner won first place on her 
kitchen. Mrs. W. L. Pruitt did lots of work in home 
improvement too. During this period we had our first 
better homes rally here at Winterboro and made a tour 
of the community to see the improvements. We visit- 
ed the John Morris home to see the barrel type water 
system with a shower installed in the tower under the 
barrel. 

1930-1935 

Mrs. Bishop: Just look at this picture of my hus- 
band wearing a suit made of fertilizer sacks. 
Mrs. Shaddix: Of sacks! 

Mrs. Bishop: Yes, I guess I was one of the first club 
women in the county to do much with sacks. See here

are my twins, Sara and Hilda, with their sack dresses 
on. We are still doing lots with sacks but our dresses 
don't look like those this year. We had clothing — 
altering, commercial patterns, dress fitting, sleeves and 
finishings about this time too. To show what we had 
done we had a style revue at our rally with 25 taking 
part. Look at this picture of Mrs. Mattie Hubbard 
with one of those dresses on! 

Mr*. Shaddix: It still looks nice on her. 

1935-1940 

Mrs. Bishop: This brings us to 1935. We again took 
home improvement — making chair seats of shucks and 
slip covers. Mrs. Lewis Landers of the Kahatchee 
Club did a lot of this kind of work. 

It was during this 
period that we stressed 
record keeping. Mrs. C. 
D. Christopher's garden 
record made us know it 
was worth our time to 
keep records. Mrs. 
Louise Roberson kept 
records on her poultry 
flock. It was also dur- 
ing this period that we 
had our first assistant 
home demonstration 
agent. She was Miss Al- 
lye Hughes. With some- 
one to help Miss Plow- 
den the number of clubs 
began to grow. We had 
now 19 women's clubs 
with more being organ- 
ized each year. 

Mrs. Shaddix: Our 

club, the Four-Winds, 
was organized about this 
time, wasn't it? 




Mrs. C. D. Christopher, 
Talladega, Rt. 1, illustrat- 
ing the period when club 
members began keeping ac- 
curate records of their 
vegetable and egg harvests 
and sales. 

Mrs. Bishop: Why 

Mrs. Shaddix, don't you know we organized our club 
way back yonder in 1926? 

Mrs. Shaddix: Of course, I had forgotten. 
1940-1945 

Mrs. Bishop: It was 1940 to 1942 that we did so 
much with our mattress and comfort program. Why 
the Munford Club even composed a song about them. 
You know we made 4,126 mattresses and 2,488 com- 
forts. 

It was just at this time that we had to quit all of 
that kind of work and get busy helping to win the war. 
We divided our county into neighborhood groups and 
got leaders to assist those groups with their production 
and canning. 

Mrs. R. C. Heaslett did lots of work with her group. 
She organized them and they met regularly once a 
month for several years, then most of the members 
moved, and those who were left went over to meet 
with Russell Chapel Club. 

It was about this time, too, that we became "Nu- 
trition Conscious" and we had our enriched bread 
campaign. 

Since we couldn't buy lots of things that we had 
been accustomed to, we had demonstrations in renova- 
tions and making dresses out of men's suits. Here is 
a picture of Mrs. Sim Christie wearing a suit she made 
out of a man's old suit, and you know the thread was 
all that it cost her? 

Mrs. Shaddix: This looks like a picture of Mrs. Dam- 
eron Christie with vegetables from her victory gar- 
den. 

Mrs. Bishop: Even the town people were encourag- 
ed to produce victory gardens during the war. 

Mrs. Shaddix: We not only had gardens, but didn't 
lots of the club women go to work in the war plants 
around here? 

Mrs. Bishop: Yes, they 
did, and they did some 
good work too. They 
found that they had tal- 
ents that they had never 
used and were able to 
adjust themselves very 
easily to working out- 
side the homes. 

Mrs. Shaddix: Didn't 
all of that break up the 
club work? 

Mrs. Bishop: Atten- 
dance was out at our 
club meetings, but the 
few of us who didn't go 
to the plants to work 
held on, and we are not 
sorry, for our work and 
the interest are building 
up right along now. 

Mrs. Shaddix: Didn't 
we who stayed at home 
feel that we should be 
out working too? 

Mrs. Bishop: No, I 

don't think so. We did 
our part for the war ef- 
fort. We helped with 
the Red Cross work. 
Many of us gave much 




time to rolling bandages and doing sewing and knit- 
ting, to the scrap and salvage drives, and we helped 
with the bond drives, too. Our reports show that the 
club women assisted with the county-wide farm bond 
drive, but 430 of our members reported that they 
bought 4,045 bonds valued at $99,973.00. 

Mrs. Shaddix: We did do our part when you look 
at it like that. 

1945 

Mrs. Bishop: Last year we carried out our produc- 
tion and conservation program in a big way in our 
clubs. We had reported 115,174 quarts of fruits and 
vegetables canned and 226,421 pounds of stored and 
cured products. Mrs. R. C. Heaslett, Mrs. Willie Bol- 
ton and Mrs. Will Bentley conducted pantry stores 
demonstrations. The three women valued their work 
at $1,503.00. If we had all done as well as they did 
we would be able to send more to the starving na- 
tions today. 

1946 

Mrs. Shaddix: We are helping by cutting down on 
our breads and trying to can even more this year 
than we did last, are we not? 

Mrs. Bishop: Yes, we are. This year we are broad- 
ening our program even more for we have had house

planning. You know, I have my plan all ready for 
my new home when we can get the materials to build. 

Mrs. Shaddix: What else are we doing? 

Mrs. Bishop: We have made real slip covers for our 
overstuffed furniture too this year, and have had dem- 
onstrations using the pressure boilers. 

Mrs. Shaddix: How many clubs do we have now? 

Mrs. Bishop: Miss Plowden and Miss Ann Barr are

War Bond Drive for home 
demonstration club. 




working with 18 girls' 4-H clubs with 800 members, 
28 women's clubs with 530 members, and with the 
women in 108 neighborhoods, approximately 52 of 
which are not reached by the home demonstration 
clubs. 

Mrs. Shaddix: Well, I have really enjoyed this scrap 
book. I've even enjoyed it so much that I have for- 
gotten what I came to see you about. I wish every 
woman in the county could have been here to hear 
your explanation of the work. I expect they would 
be like me — "More determined to go to all club meet- 
ings. Wait, is this all work and no play?" 

Mrs. Bishop: Oh no, we always have songs and 
recreation at every meeting. I think we would like a 
song right now — I am going to ask the entire group 
to come out and sing with us — "Country Homes Ain't 
What They Used To Be."

Rabies is a year-round problem. But rabies is sometimes worse in the summer months because dogs are 
running about more. With the improvement in vaccine in recent years, livestock sanitary authorities last year 
put their stamp of approval on vaccination. They emphasize, however, that vaccines do NOT give full con- 
trol — that other control measures are still important — especially rounding up stray dogs. Rabies takes a big 
toll of human and animal life every year. Picture at left shows "Buddy" Francis waiting at dog hospital to 
have his dog vaccinated against rabies. Right photo shows him looking on as doctor vaccinates the pet dog. 

How Control Some External Livestock Parasites 



By W. H. GREGORY 
API Extension Livestock Specialist 

EXTERNAL parasites cause livestock pro- 
ducers great losses each year in Alabama. 
The' most destructive of these can be con- 
trolled as follows: 

Cattle Lice: Lice, which make cattle miser- 
able and cause them to lose weight during 
the winter months when their upkeep is most 
expensive, can be controlled effectively or 
completely eliminated by one thorough spray- 
ing in the fall or early winter. Use a one per 
cent DDT suspension in water, made by mix- 
ing one pound of Dupont Deenate 50W (or 
similar product) with six and one-fourth gal- 
lons of water. 

The most effective way to apply the sus- 
pension is to use a power sprayer generating 
150 pounds pressure at the nozzle, but a 
knapsack sprayer can be used if care is taken 
to wet the entire animal. Pick a warm, clear 
day for spraying and complete early enough 
so that cattle will dry off before dark. 

Farmers having dipping vats but no spray 
rigs can control lice by dipping with one- 
fourth per cent DDT in water. To make this 
suspension mix one pound of the above ma- 
terial with 25 gallons of water. Redip be- 
tween the 12th and 16th day after first dip- 
ping for complete eradication. 

Either of these two methods should com- 
pletely eradicate cattle lice. 

Hog Lice: Hog lice can be curbed by paint- 
ing or spraying the hogs with two-tenths of 
one per cent DDT in Diesel oil. (This is the 
only time that DDT in oil should be used on 
livestock and must be a very weak solution.) 

Make the solution by mixing one pound 
Deenate 50 W with 3114 gallons of Diesel oil. 
Also, use this to spray areas where hogs fre- 
quent. Erect a rubbing post at an angle like 
a fence brace, wrap with sacking and satu- 
rate the post with the oil solution. By having 
a rubbing post at such an angle, hogs can 
rub stomach and back as well as side. 

Hog lice can also be controlled by spray- 
ing with one per cent DDT suspension in wa- 
ter as recommended for cattle lice. 



Hogs may be treated at any time foi lice 
by this method. 

Horn Flies: A herd of cattle may have lit- 
erally thousands of these stabbing flies on 
each animal. Each of these flies takes at least 
two meals of blood a day which makes it hard 
to fatten cattle infested with them. The pest 
is very easy to control with DDT. Spray the 
animal lightly with a two and one-half per 
cent DDT suspension in water. This may be 
made by mixing one pound of Dupont Dee- 
nate 50W (or similar product) in two and 
one-half gallons of water. Generally one pint 
of this suspension is sufficient for each ani- 
mal. 

This spraying should be done as soon in 
the spring as the cattle get a few hundred 
flies on them. It may be necessary to re- 
spray later in the season if owners of neigh- 
boring herds do not spray their cattle. 

Ox Warbles: Cattle grubs, sometimes call- 
ed ox warbles or wolves, cause great damage 
to the meat and skin of infested cattle. In 
addition, cattle are extremely annoyed by the 
adult when she attempts to lay her eggs on 
them. This adult is called the heel fly. These 
flies lay their eggs on the lower leg of the 
cattle where they hatch; then the tiny larvae 
bore into the muscles. These larvae start 
growing and burrowing their way through 
the animal's muscles until they reach the 
back. This usually takes about nine months. 
After reaching the back each grub makes a 
hole in the skin and remains under it for sev- 
eral weeks. 

The only practical time to control this in- 
sect is while they are in the back. Unfortu- 
nately all of them do not make their holes at 
the same time which necessitates two or three 
applications at 30-day intervals. The first ap- 
plication should be made before any of the 
grubs come out of the holes and drop on the 
ground to pupate. 

A sprayer which will generate about 250 
pounds pressure is necessary in order to knock 
the scabs off the holes on the cattle's back 
and get the material in contact with the lar- 
vae. For this spraying, mix five pounds of 
derris or cube powder, ten pounds of wetable 
sulphur and 100 gallons of water. It will 
take about one-half gallon of this mixture 
for each animal. 



Protect Grain From Weevils 

f F grain is to be held for any length of time 
■*• on the farm (1) put it in clean bins that 
are gas tight and (2) fumigate with carbon 
bisulphide. The amount of the chemical to 
use will depend on the tightness of the bins. 
Generally speaking, 1 pound per 100 cubic 
feet of space is adequate for fairly tight struc- 
tures. 

The liquid evaporates quickly and the gas 
is heavier than air. It is also very explosive 
and must be used carefully. Cigarettes, light- 
ed lanterns, and other flames should not be 
used when the grain is being treated with the 
material. Electric sparks may also cause an 
explosion. — Southern Planter. 

Restore Full Feed Slowly 

TT is important to bring the cow up to full 
1 feed slowly after freshening. Take from 
two weeks to a month or more to do this, de- 
pending upon the condition of the cow and 
her appetite. It is better at this time to un- 
derfeed than to overfeed grain and so keep 
the appetite keen. 

A light grain mixture made up largely of 
oats and bran is very good for the period fol- 
lowing calving. As the cow's appetite picks 
up, some of the regular herd ration is sub- 
stituted each day for the lighter grain mix- 
ture. Good bright leafy hay should be pro- 
vided. 

It is important to give the cows access to 
salt at this time when they are not on regular 
rations and may not have access to th^e regu- 
lar salt supply. 



More Cows Artificially Inseminated 



AREAS IN WHICH COOPERATIVE ARTIFICIAL BREEDING ASSOCIATIONS ARE 
OPERATING IN THE UNITED STATES 
. TOTAL NUMBER OF ASSOCIATIONS JAN I l9«6 326 




THERE were 73,293 herds consisting of 
579,477 cows enrolled in artificial insem- 
ination associations on January 1, 1946, ac- 
cording to^the U. S. Bureau of Dairy Indus- 
try. This is an increase over the year prev- 
ious of 31,273 (74.4 per cent) in number of 
herds and 237,465 (69.4 per cent) in number 
of cows. 

Wisconsin, with 118,215 cows enrolled in 
these associations, again leads the states in 
number of cows being bred artificially. Other 
states with 30,000 or more cows enrolled are 
Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Iowa, and 
Michigan. 

The number of bull associations operating 
January 1, 1946, was 165, with an enrollment 
of 28,018 cows. On January 1, 1945, there 
were 240 associations with an enrollment of 
33,910 cows. The decrease in number of bull 
associations and of cows enrolled results from 
the growth of the artificial insemination as- 
sociation program, which in most areas is 
gradually absorbing the bull associations. 



IT takes around 11 pounds of feed to pro- 
duce 1 dozen eggs from a hen that is lay- 
ing 80 eggs per year but a 200-egg hen will 
lay a dozen eggs on 5 pounds of feed.

Whatley Family Has Robinson Crusoe Spirit 



By EARL FRANKLIN KENNAMER 

ROBINSON CRUSOE was smart. He's the 
fellow, you remember, who was ship- 
wrecked on a lonely island. But he was 
clever enough to make everything he needed 
from just what he found there. You remem- 
ber the Swiss Family Robinson, too. They 
show that we can live better and happier by 
using what we have at hand. 

The A. C. Whatley family of Beauregard, 
Alabama, are modern examples of this talent 
for making the most of everything. They are 
a resourceful and independent family. 

Shortages No Worry 

Shortages don't worry Mr. Whatley. He 
grows all his own livestock feed. He makes 
his poultry mash from his own alfalfa hay, 
oats, wheat, and corn. He mixes them by his 
own formula and grinds them at his brother's 
mill next door. 

Cans of vegetables from Mrs. Whatley's 
year-round garden line the pantry shelves. 
Her table isn't often without fresh green leafy 
vegetables. Their pecan grove supplies nuts. 
She makes jams and preserves from their 
pears, grapes, and apples. Fifty New Hamp- 
shire red hens keep the family supplied with 
eggs. 

They have a variety of meats, too. Besides 
beef and pork they raise their own rabbits 
and chickens. They have a flock of more 
than a hundred cockerels. 

Cuts Own Lumber 

When Mr. Whaltey builds or repairs a 
building, he saws the lumber at his own small 
mill. For a small fee other farmers may use 
it to saw lumber for their own use. Some 
come as far as 10 miles to use his mill. 

One of Mr. Whatley's new buildings is a 
rodent-proof grain shed. It is big enough to 



store all his small grains. He built it from 
his own milled lumber. 

The prize of all is the Whatley's lodge at 
their l 1 /^ acre fish pond. Mr. Whatley built 
it in his spare time in 3 years. It has running 
water, bathroom, and electricity. The walls 
are stained in oak. The inside is decorated 
in good taste. He made part of the furniture 
himself. The family uses the lodge after- 
noons and week-ends when they go swim- 
ming, boating, and fishing. The fertilized 
pond provides good fishing for the family and 
friends. 

Modern Carpenter Shop 

Robinson Crusoe would be green with envy 
if he could see Mr. Whatley's carpenter shop. 
He has a drill press, band saw, rip saw, cut- 
off saw, mortise-cutter, "dado" saw, jointer, 
lathe, and sander, and many hand tools for 
wood-working. With this fine equipment he 
makes screens, doors, and other such things 
for himself and his neighbors. He has made 
Mrs. Whatley three cedar chests, tea and 
card tables, and powder boxes. 

To produce better beef, Mr. Whatley owns 
a purebred Hereford bull for his grade cat- 
tle. 

Grows Many Crops 

He has 4 acres of alfalfa, 20 acres of seri- 
cea, li/ 2 acres of Ladino, 5^ acres of white 
Dutch clover, and 5 acres of peas. These 
provide feed and grazing for his cattle. He 
planted his first alfalfa on poor, hilly soil. 
A yield of over a ton to the cutting pleased 
him so that he plans to plant 12 acres this 
fall. He limes and fertilizes his pastures. 

Of his 25 acres of corn, 4 grow Funk's hy- 
brid G717. The rest is in Whatley's prolific. 
Over 500 acres of his 800-acre farm are in 
timber — a future income and insurance 
against erosion. 



Not Too Fat, Please 

QOWS are often too fat at farrowing time 
^ as a result of heavy feeding of corn. Pigs 
are larger and more vigorous at birth when 
sows and gilts are fed balanced rations and 
kept in a good, thrifty condition; they should 
gain from 75 to 100 pounds during preg- 
nancy. A good mixture for sows and gilts 
during the gestation period: One bushel of 
whole or coarsely ground corn, one bushel of 
whole or coarsely ground oats and five 
pounds of tankage or meat scraps. 

If oats are not available, use 30 pounds 
of wheat shorts or bran. Skim milk at the 
rate of one* gallon per sow daily will replace 
either of above protein feeds. When corn is 
fed, approximately Vo pound of protein feed 
per sow should be fed daily in troughs. Ma- 
ture sows should receive about 1.35 pounds 
of concentrate daily for each 100 pounds of 
live weight; gilts, 1.60 pounds of concentrate 
per 100 pounds. If there is no grazing, feed 
well-cured leafy legume hay in racks, or al- 
falfa meal. 

Give the sows only water for the first 24 
hours after farrowing. The second day give 
a light, bulky feed, as ground oats or wheat 
bran, or a limited amount of the feed fed be- 
fore farrowing. If sow is in good condition 
do not give more than half feed for three or 
four days. Do not feed a heavy corn ration 
for six to eight days. Give plenty of good 
water at all times. After pigs become 10 to 
12 days old, if sow is doing well she may be 
fed all she will clean up — A. L. Durant. 

He considers his wildlife a crop. He plants 
strips of partridge peas and bi-color lespe- 
deza as food for quail and doves. 

Mr. Whatley says that as soon as he can 
get the labor, he will increase his farming 
program to its pre-war level.

Practical Hay Drier 

AN $800 hay drier at the Sand Mountain 
Substation near Crossville saved a $750 
first cutting of alfalfa last May \yhen it rain- 
ed 9 of the first 16 days. 

The drier is one of several being install- 
ed by the Agricultural Experiment Station, 
A. P. I., at various locations to study instal- 
lation and operation costs in relation to value 
returned from such equipment. 

Rained 9 Of 16 Days 

Alfalfa from 11% acres was used in the 
trial at the Sand Mountain Substation. The 
first cutting was made on May 1. Intermit- 
tent rains, totaling 1V4 inches, and heavy fog 
and dew delayed hauling the hay to the drier- 
equipped barn until the afternoon of May 4. 
Drying was completed May 16. Electric 
power consumed in operating the drier for 
the 12-day period amounted to about $14. 
The local price of good quality alfalfa hay at 
that time was $50 a ton. 

Since rain occurred 9 of the first 16 days 
of May, it is believed that the first cutting of 
15 tons would have been lost. In saving the 
first crop valued at $750, the drier nearly 
paid for itself. 

About $12 worth of power was used in 
curing the second cutting of 18 tons from the 
same acreage. 

Drier Includes 

The drier consists of two large drum-type 
fans driven by 5 horsepower electric motors, 
a wood central air duct, and slatted framing 
to support the hay off the floor of the barn 
loft. The fans are mounted at each end of 
the barn loft, and the central air duct ex- 
tends between the fans and down the center 
of the barn loft floor. At each side of the 
central air duct are the supporting frames 
of the hay. The air is blown through open- 
ings in the sides of the central air duct and 
up through the slatted frame supporting the 
wet or damp hay. 

The wood central air duct and slatted hay 
supports were home built. The cost of the 
motors, fans, wiring, switch boxes, and lum- 
ber amounted to about $800.00. General 
construction plans for this type of drier may 
be obtained by writing the Agricultural Ex- 
periment Station, Auburn. 



of major grain crops makes the thinking 
observer wonder whether the seven-year 
bull market in grain is not nearing its end." 

Wondering About Future 

Just before reading this I was in Maine 
where I made a personal study of potato 
production. One Maine county (Aroo- 
stook) produces each year more potatoes 
than any state except Maine. 

During the war these farmers increased 
their production of potatoes by a third. 
They did this in response to needs for more 
food. 

But they are now wondering about the 
future. They asked me : "Will the market 
continue to consume as many potatoes as 
we are making, or will we return to pro- 
duction Control?" 

I told them that in Baldwin County, Ala- 
bama, we, too, are a bit jittery because the 
demand probably will not continue as big 
as at present. There is also the fact that 
California production has increased rapid- 
ly. It is big. 

I told the Maine potato growers also that 
southern farmers are wondering about cot- 
ton, tobacco, and peanuts. Will needs of 
these increase or decrease? Or will pro- 
duction control on an allotment basis be- 
come necessary again? 

Farmers Should Decide 

If the need arises, farmers will have an 
opportunity to decide for themselves be- 
tween acreage control with supported 
prices and no acreage control with unsup- 
ported prices. 

It will be their No. 1 question to decide. 
I would lik% of course, for each farmer to 
produce as much as he wants to produce 
of any product but I don't want to see him 
do it unless he can sell at a good price. And 
supported prices require controlled produc- 
tion. 



(Continued from page 1) 

Mindful that this issue is ahead, each 
farmer needs to be adjusting his operations 
accordingly. He needs to produce at a low 
cost per unit; and to make his soil better. 

This is sound farming. It involves use 
of land in winter as well as in summer; and 
during autumn as well as spring of the 
year. It involves livestock as well as row 
crops ; and livestock require feed, of which 
grazing is of first consideration. 

High Production Needed 

Under all circumstances farmers need to 
keep production at a high level. By this 
I mean enough of each farm product to 
supply adequately all needs at home and 
abroad. 

Farmers will want to hold their foreign 
market, provided it can be done in a profit- 
able way to farmers. If they can't do it 
on this basis the foreign market, of course, 
will be lost. This is true of any manufactur- 
ed product, as well as farm products. 

Farmers are now on a high level of pro- 
duction. They are a third above prewar. 
Except for certain needs abroad as an af- 
termath of war they are producing an ad- 
equate supply. 

Industry Should Produce 

But this is not true of industrial produc- 
tion. If you go to a store and ask for al- 
most any article you're likely not to find 
it. Farmers, therefore, are very hopeful 
that industry will get into high production 
and stay in high production to supply mar- 
ket needs. 

High production is the antidote of in- 
flation. It is also the first essential to a 
sound economy. No nation can be sound 
without enough production of the goods 
needed by the people. This includes all 
products of farms, forests, mines, and man- 
ufacturers. 



Hens Give Better Shells 

T7OR seven years, poultry scientists of the 
*■ U. S. Department of Agriculture have 
built up two lines of White Leghorns which 
now differ strikingly in the quality of the 
shell on their eggs. 

With the same care in collecting the eggs, 
eggs from the poor shell line regularly turn 
up with more cracked and broken eggs than 
in the collections from the good shell line. 



By actual measurement, hens in that poor 
shell line lay eggs with thinner, more porous 
shells. 

What's more, the poor-shelled eggs lose 
weight faster than the eggs with good strong 
shells. As an egg loses weight, the air cell 
m the egg gets larger, and down goes the 
market grade of the egg. 

These two lines of White Leghorn chickens 
demonstrate that quality of egg shell is an 
inherited quality and chickens can be bred 
to produce eggs of better shell quality.

Let's Watch Malaria; It's Dangerous 



(Prepare* especially for This Month in Rural Ala- 
bama by the State Department of Health.) 

AS long ago as 1600 the people of Peru 
were using the bark from their native 
trees in the ^treatment of malaria. 

Too, it is said that a Spanish woman of 
noble birth, the Countess del Chinchon, gave 
this bark credit for her own recovery in 1638, 
and, upon her return to Spain about two years 
later, carried some of it with her. 

After that its fame as a malaria medicine 
spread rapidly, and Louis XIV of France was 
so pleased with the results of his own use of 
it that he gave $240,000 in cash and a yearly 
income of $10,000 to the person who had fur- 
nished it to him. 

About a century later the tree from which 
that life-saving bark had been obtained be- 
gan to be known as the Chinchona tree and 
in 1820 the product was made available in 
the form of an extract. We know it as qui- 
nine. 

How Malaria Works 

The parasites responsible for malaria are so 
small that they can be seen only with a pow- 
erful microscope. They are incapable of 
growth in the sense that a person or a plant 
grows. Instead, they split up, and in time 
a single parasite may increase to 32. While 
in the human body they live in the red blood 
cells, which are tiny bodies floating in the 
blood and performing the important function 
of carrying life-giving oxygen from one part 
of the body to the other. As might be gath- 
ered from their name, these red blood cells 
give blood its characteristic red color. 

Each of the eight, 16 or 32 parasites that 
are formed from the single parasite we are 
considering begins splitting up as it did, and 
it is estimated that at the end of ten days a 
single parasite may "father" more than 30,- 
000,000 others. 

Parasites Do Not Mate 

Unlike most other forms of reproduction, 
including the human, this does not depend 
upon the pairing of male and female. As sug- 
gested above, the "growth" of malaria para- 
sites is more in the nature of rapid division, 
or splitting up, than of birth in the commonly 
accepted sense. During the period of divi- 
sion there is a distinct separation along sex 
lines, both male and female parasites being 
created. 



The damage which these multiplied mil- 
lions of malaria parasites do consists of the 
destruction of the body's red blood cells. 
When that is done, a person may be said to 
be a victim of malaria. 

Mosquitoes Carry Malaria 

Whenever a person with malaria is bitten 
by the malaria mosquito, known as the Ano- 
pheles quadrimaculatus, the mosquito takes 
into its own body some of his blood and with 
it the parasites which it contains. These pro- 
duce other , parasites, which develop in the 
mosquito's body and, after from eight to 14 
days, make their way into the mosquito's sa- 
liva. It is a relatively simple matter then for 
them to be transferred to the blood stream 
of the next person whom the mosquito bites. 
Thus the cruel cycle — from man to mosquito 
to man — is completed. 

Death May Result 

Quinine, which reigned for centuries as the 
unchallenged best, and indeed virtually the 
only, remedy for malaria, now has several 
rivals, most of them synthetics. Their task is 
to cure the disease by destroying the malaria 
parasites before they get the upper hand in 
their battle against the red blood cells. When 
that battle goes in favor of the red blood cells 
(with or without the aid of drugs), the pa- 
tient rapidly recovers. If such outside as- 
sistance is not to be had and the patient's 
natural resistance is not strong enough for 
the red blood cells to win unaided, his con- 
dition grows worse and he either succumbs 
to the disease or becomes a chronic malaria 
victim.

Niacin In Chicken 

FRIED breast of chicken has more to offer 
than fine flavor and substantial protein 
and calories. Recent research by poultry 
specialists shows that the breast of chicken 
is an excellent souree of niacin — the impor- 
tant anti-pellegra B-vitamin. 

Tests show that the concentration of this 
vitamin is especially high in the flesh of 
young chickens — that is, broilers and fryers. 
Findings indicate that chicken breast con- 
tains more niacin than any other muscle meat 
thus far tested and compares favorably with 
pork liver and beef liver which are recogniz- 
ed as rich sources of this vitamin. 

Pigs Need Pasture 

START pigs from 10 to 14 days of age on 
creep. A good pig starter is shelled corn, 
self-fed and skim milk in trough daily. If 
milk is not available, another good mixture 
is 70 pounds of coarse-ground shelled corn, 
20 pounds of wheat shorts, and 10 pounds of 
tankage, all mixed and self-fed. 

Pigs should be farrowed and kept on new 
pasture where good grazing is available. Ken- 
tucky experiments show that one acre of good 
alfalfa, clover or lespedeza grazed to ca- 
pacity, can replace 1,000 pounds of grain, 
500 pounds of protein supplement. However, 
some animal protein is needed with pasture 
when pigs are full fed. Pasture helps keep 
pigs healthy and land becomes more fertile 
because pigs distribute their droppings over 
an area. 

Lime Increases Oats 

CLEMSON Agricultural College reports 
that in a recent test on the effect of lim- 
ing, the oat yield was 9,378 pounds per acre 
where 1000 pounds of lime was applied in 
the early spring as compared with 6,239 per 
acre where no lime was used. 

The test, showing a difference of 3,139 
pounds per acre in favor of lime, was made 
just before the oats were cut in a rather early 
stage. The experimenters noted that a per- 
son could easily see the difference between 
oats growing in limed soil and oats with no 
lime. A difference in lespedeza growing on 
the soil was also noticeable, they said.

Whatley Family Has Robinson Crusoe Spirit 



By EARL FRANKLIN KENNAMER 

ROBINSON CRUSOE was smart. He's the 
fellow, you remember, who was ship- 
wrecked on a lonely island. But he was 
clever enough to make everything he needed 
from just what he found there. You remem- 
ber the Swiss Family Robinson, too. They 
show that we can live better and happier by 
using what we have at hand. 

The A. C. Whatley family of Beauregard, 
Alabama, are modern examples of this talent 
for making the most of everything. They are 
a resourceful and independent family. 

Shortages No Worry 

Shortages don't worry Mr. Whatley. He 
grows all his own livestock feed. He makes 
his poultry mash from his own alfalfa hay, 
oats, wheat, and corn. He mixes them by his 
own formula and grinds them at his brother's 
mill next door. 

Cans of vegetables from Mrs. Whatley's 
year-round garden line the pantry shelves. 
Her table isn't often without fresh green leafy 
vegetables. Their pecan grove supplies nuts. 
She makes jams and preserves from their 
pears, grapes, and apples. Fifty New Hamp- 
shire red hens keep the family supplied with 
eggs. 

They have a variety of meats, too. Besides 
beef and pork they raise their own rabbits 
and chickens. They have a flock of more 
than a hundred cockerels. 

Cuts Own Lumber 

When Mr. Whaltey builds or repairs a 
building, he saws the lumber at his own small 
mill. For a small fee other farmers may use 
it to saw lumber for their own use. Some 
come as far as 10 miles to use his mill. 

One of Mr. Whatley's new buildings is a 
rodent-proof grain shed. It is big enough to 



store all his small grains. He built it from 
his own milled lumber. 

The prize of all is the Whatley's lodge at 
their ly% acre fish pond. Mr. Whatley built 
it in his spare time in 3 years. It has running 
water, bathroom, and electricity. The walls 
are stained in oak. The inside is decorated 
in good taste. He made part of the furniture 
himself. The family uses the lodge after- 
noons and week-ends when they go swim- 
ming, boating, and fishing. The fertilized 
pond provides good fishing for the family and 
friends. 

Modern Carpenter Shop 

Robinson Crusoe would be green with envy 
if he could see Mr. Whatley's carpenter shop. 
He has a drill press, band saw, rip saw, cut- 
off saw, mortise-cutter, "dado" saw, jointer, 
lathe, and sander, and many hand tools for 
wood-working. With this fine equipment he 
makes screens, doors, and other such things 
for himself and his neighbors. He has made 
Mrs. Whatley three cedar chests, tea and 
card tables, and powder boxes. 

To produce better beef, Mr. Whatley owns 
a purebred Hereford bull for his grade cat- 
tle. 

Grows Many Crops 

He has 4 acres of alfalfa, 20 acres of seri- 
cea, l 1 /^ acres of Ladino, acres of white 
Dutch clover, and 5 acres of peas. These 
provide feed and grazing for his cattle. He 
planted his first alfalfa on poor, hilly soil. 
A yield of over a ton to the cutting pleased 
him so that he plans to plant 12 acres this 
fall. He limes and fertilizes his pastures. 

Of his 25 acres of corn, 4 grow Funk's hy- 
brid G717. The rest is in Whatley's prolific. 
Over 500 acres of his 800-acre farm are in 
timber — a future income and insurance 
against erosion. 



Not Too Fat, Please 

QOWS are often too fat at farrowing time 
^ asa result of heavy feeding of corn. Pigs 
are larger and more vigorous at birth when 
sows and gilts are fed balanced rations and 
kept in a good, thrifty condition ; they should 
gain from 75 to 100 pounds during preg- 
nancy. A good mixture for sows and gilts 
during the gestation period: One bushel of 
whole or coarsely ground corn, one bushel of 
whole or coarsely ground oats and five 
pounds of tankage or meat scraps. 

If oats are not available, use 30 pounds 
of wheat shorts or bran. Skim milk at the 
rate of one gallon per sow daily will replace 
either of above protein feeds. When corn is 
fed, approximately V3 pound of protein feed 
per sow should be fed daily in troughs. Ma- 
ture sows should receive about 1.35 pounds 
of concentrate daily for each 100 pounds of 
live weight; gilts, 1.60 pounds of concentrate 
per 100 pounds. If there is no grazing, feed 
well-cured leafy legume hay in racks, or al- 
falfa meal. 

Give the sows only water for the first 24 
hours after farrowing. The second day give 
a light, bulky feed, as ground oats or wheat 
bran, or a limited amount of the feed fed be- 
fore farrowing. If sow is in good. condition 
do not give more than half feed for three or 
four days. Do not feed a heavy corn ration 
for six to eight days. Give plenty of good 
water at all times. After pigs become 10 to 
12 days old, if sow is doing well she may be 
fed all she will clean up — A. L. Durant. 

He considers his wildlife a crop. He plants 
strips of partridge peas and bi-color lespe- 
deza as food for quail and doves. 

Mr. Whatley says that as soon as he can 
get the labor, he will increase his farming 
program to its pre-war level. 



(4) This two-story grain house was constructed from lumber cut at Mr. Whatley's sawmill. Rat infestation is unlikely because the foundation and ground floor 
are of concrete. (5) Mr. Whatley grinds hi. own formula of alfalfa meal, oats, wheat, and corn for the farm poultry flock. (6) These four acres of Funk's hybrid 
G717 corn are already tasseling. Mr. Whatley expects a big yield.

Practical Hay Drier 

AN $800 hay drier at the Sand Mountain 
Substation near Crossville saved a $750 
first cutting of alfalfa last May when it rain- 
ed 9 of the first 16 days. 

The drier is one of several being install- 
ed by the Agricultural Experiment Station, 
A. P. L, at various locations to study instal- 
lation and operation costs in relation to value 
returned from such equipment. 

Rained 9 Of 16 Days 

Alfalfa from HVz acres was used in the 
trial at the Sand Mountain Substation. The 
first cutting was made on May 1. Intermit- 
tent rains, totaling 1*4 inches, and heavy fog 
and dew delayed hauling the hay to the drier- 
equipped barn until the afternoon of May 4. 
Drying was completed May 16. Electric 
power consumed in operating the drier for 
the 12-day period amounted to about $14. 
The local price of good quality alfalfa hay at 
that time was $50 a ton. 

Since rain occurred 9 of the first 16 days 
of May, it is believed that the first cutting of 
15 tons would have been lost. In saving the 
first crop valued at $750, the drier nearly 
paid for itself. 

About $12 worth of power was used in 
curing the second cutting of 18 tons from the 
same acreage. 

Drier Includes 

The drier consists of two large drum-type 
fans driven by 5 horsepower electric motors, 
a wood central air duct, and slatted framing 
to support the hay off the floor of the barn 
loft. The fans are mounted at each end of 
the barn loft, and the central air duct ex- 
tends between the fans and down the center 
of the barn loft floor. At each side of the 
central air duct are the supporting frames 
of the hay. The air is blown through open- 
ings in the sides of the central air duct and 
up through the slatted frame supporting the 
wet or damp hay. 

The wood central air duct and slatted hay 
supports were home built. The cost of the 
motors, fans, wiring, switch boxes, and lum- 
ber amounted to about $800.00. General 
construction plans for this type of drier may 
be obtained by writing the Agricultural Ex- 
periment Station, Auburn. 



of major grain crops makes the thinking 
observer wonder whether the seven-year 
bull market in grain is not nearing its end." 

Wondering About Future 

Just before reading this I was in Maine 
where I made a personal study of potato 
production. One Maine county (Aroo- 
stook) produces each year more potatoes 
than any state except Maine. 

During the war these farmers increased 
their production of potatoes by a third. 
They did this in response to needs for more 
food. 

But they are now wondering about the 
future. They asked me : "Will the market 
continue to consume as many potatoes as 
we are making, or will we return to pro- 
duction control?" 

I told them that in Baldwin County, Ala- 
bama, we, too, are a bit jittery because the 
demand probably will not continue as big 
as at present. There is also the fact that 
California production has increased rapid- 
ly. It is big. 

I told the Maine potato growers also that 
southern farmers are wondering about cot- 
ton, tobacco, and peanuts. Will needs of 
these increase or decrease? Or will pro- 
duction control on an allotment basis be- 
come necessary again? 

Farmers Should Decide 

If the need arises, farmers will have an 
opportunity to decide for themselves be- 
tween acreage control with supported 
prices and no acreage control with unsup- 
ported prices. 

It will be their No. 1 question to decide. 
I would lik% of course, for each farmer to 
produce as much as he wants to produce 
of any product but I don't want to see him 
do it unless he can sell at a good price. And 
supported prices require controlled produc- 
tion. 



(Continued from page 1) 

Mindful that this issue is ahead, each 
farmer needs to be adjusting his operations 
accordingly. He needs to produce at a low 
cost per unit; and to make his soil better. 

This is sound farming. It involves use 
of land in winter as well as in summer ; and 
during autumn as well as spring of the 
year. It involves livestock as well as row 
crops; and livestock require feed, of which 
grazing is of first consideration. 

High Production Needed 

Under all circumstances farmers need to 
keep production at a high level. By this 
I mean enough of each farm product to 
supply adequately all needs at home and 
abroad. 

Farmers will want to hold their foreign 
market, provided it can be done in a profit- 
able way to farmers. If they can't do it 
on this basis the foreign market, of course, 
will be lost. This is true of any manufactur- 
ed product, as well as farm products. 

Farmers are now on a high level of pro- 
duction. They are a third above prewar. 
Except for certain needs abroad as an af- 
termath of war they are producing an ad- 
equate supply. 

Industry Should Produce 

But this is not true of industrial produc- 
tion. If you go to a store and ask for al- 
most any article you're likely not to find 
it. Farmers, therefore, are very hopeful 
that industry will get into high production 
and stay in high production to supply mar- 
ket needs. 

High production is the antidote of in- 
flation. It is also the first essential to a 
sound economy. No nation can be sound 
without enough production of the goods 
needed by the people. This includes all 
products of farms, forests, mines, and man- 
ufacturers. 



Hens Give Better Shells 

r^OR seven years, poultry scientists of the 
*■ U. S. Department of Agriculture have 
built up two lines of White Leghorns which 
now differ strikingly in the quality of the 
shell on their eggs. 

With the same care in collecting the eggs, 
eggs from the poor shell line regularly turn 
up with more cracked and broken eggs than 
in the collections from the good shell line. 



By actual measurement, hens in that poor 
shell line lay eggs with thinner, more porous 
shells. 

What's more, the poor-shelled eggs lose 
weight faster than the eggs with good strong 
shells. As an egg loses weight, the air cell 
in the egg gets larger, and down goes the 
market grade of the egg. 

These two lines of White Leghorn chickens 
demonstrate that quality of egg shell is an 
inherited quality and chickens can be bred 
to produce eggs of better shell quality. 



Contract Awarded 
For Construction 
Of Siluria Road 

Information received by Chair- 
man W. L. Brown, of the County 
Board of Revenue Tuesday from 
the State Highway Department, 
stated that the contract for con- 
struction of the road from Monte- 
vallo to Siluria has been officially 
awarded to the Pitts-Douglas Con- 
struction Co. of Anniston. In the 
opinion of the spokesman for the 
Highway Department, work of the 
contractors will begin about Sept- 
ember 25. 

The contract awarded to Pitts- 
Douglas is for grading, drainage 
and otherwise preparing the road 
bed along the new survey for the 
application of black top surfacing. 

Completion of fne work of secur- 
ing right-of-way for the road was 
made last week when a commission 
of the citizens made appraisal of the 
property of six land-owners for 
condemnation necessary for the 
right-of-way. 

It is remarkable that out of a 
total number of 96 property owners 
concerned by the right-of-way, 
there were only 6 who requested 
settlement by condemnation pro- 
ceedings. Engineers found practical- 
ly all the property owners co- 
operative and willing to do what 
they could to assure the quickest 
possible construction of the road. 

The new road will be a great ad- 
vantage to all people along the way 
and to the people of Montevallo 
and Siluria. 



Hunting Dates Same 
As Last Year 

Alabama members of the hunt- 
ing fraternity should have little 
trouble keeping up with the 1946- 
47 open seasons on game animals 
and birds if they did any hunting 
last year. With the exception of 
the deer campaign, which was cut 
nine days, hunting dates are the 
same as last season on resident 
game species. On Federally con- 
trolled migratory birds, the dove 
season remains unchanged but the 
duck and coot, poule deau on the 
coast, have been drastically alter- 
ed. 



Chism To Open 
Clothing Store 

Within the next few days Mr. 
Clarence Chism will open a new 
store next to Montevallo Cleaners, 
where he will handle a first-class 
line of clothing and ready-to-wear 
for men and women. 

"I expect to handle a line of 
merchandise that will be ample and 
satisfactory for the needs of men 
and women in this vicinity," said 
Mr. Chism, "because I believe peo- 
ple should have available here at 
home everything they need to wear, 
and stop going away to other places 
to buy it." 

Mr. Chism already has much 
merchandise bought and ready to 
go in his new store. At present the 
building is being made ready for 
the opening, which will be announc- 
ed in a short time. 



Aid Offfed To 
Local Veterans 

As an additional service to veter- 
ans. Mr. G. C. Shogren, Veterans 
Administration Contact Representa- 
tive from the Sylacauga VA Office, 
visits Montevallo every Thursday 
and Calera every Friday to counsel 
with discharged members of the 
armed forces or their dependents. 

Mr. Shogran makes headquarters 
at Selective Service Board No. 2 
in Montevallo, and Office of U. S. 
Employment Service in Calera and 
stays here from 8:15 a.m. to 5:15 
p. m. 

Purpose of Mr. Shogren's visits 
here is to render every possible 
assistance to discharged members 
of the armed forces, and their de- 
pendents, in obtaining benefits to

Montevallo Times 



VOL. XIV. — No. 21 



MONTEVALLO, ALABAMA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1946 




DR. A. F. HARMAN 



President Harman 
Talks To Faculty 

Dr. Arthur Fort Harman, Presi- 
dent of Alabama College, made his 
usual appearance before the faculty 
Saturday afternoon, September 7. 
In his talk Dr. Harman placed ma- 
jor emphasis upon two objectives 
for the coming year : "The unifica- 
tion arid cooperation of all, campus 
activities and plans in making the 
celebration of the Fiftieth Anni- 
versary of the college an outstand- 
ing event." Next, "that due to a 
large enrollment, added emphasis 
must be placed on coordinating the 
entire staff and by . accepting de- 
cisions wholeheartedly and co- 
operating fully." 

Dr. Harman also urged that 
special emphasis for the coming 
year be placed on Better Teach- 
ing. He stated that there was a 
sharp distinction between teaching 
and instruction and added that "all 
teaching is instruction but not all 
instruction is teaching." Dr. Har- 
man concluded his talk to the 
faculty by urging that each instruc- 
tor endeavor to improve his instruc- 
tion in tile classroom during the 
coming year. 



The Steam Woman 
Is A Blessing 
To Her Sisters 

Clarence Chism has in his clean- 
ing and pressing shop a woman who 
is unlike any woman you ever saw, 
yet she is exactly like every woman 
in, many respects. 

She is the exact size, height, 
weight, shape and age of any wo- 
man in town. Any woman's dress 
fits her perfectly. 

She is the steam woman, a device 
for pressing women's dresses. She 
is a recent invention, the newest 
out, and a perfect scheme for the 
intricate purpose for which design- 
ed. 

Every woman should go by Mr. 
Chism's place and see how per- 
fectly the steam woman can wear 
your dress for the pressing process. 



Four Polio Cases

including 4 from Shelby County. 

The State total was only 153 for 
all of last year. 



The Chest Assembly Considers Revised 
Plans For Operating Community Chest 



Alabama Power Co. 
Has District Office 
In Montevallo 

Montevallo has recently moved up 
to a position of more importance 
in the operations of Alabama Pow- 
er Company, as evidenced by the 
announcement that a district office 
of the maintenance and construction 
department has been located here. 

Operations out of this office will 
employ about 25 men and will take 
care of line maintenance and con- 
struction over a territory including 
most of Shelby and Bibb Counties 
and the northern part of Chilton 
County. 

Mr. M. S. McGhee, transferred 
here from Birmingham, will be 
manager of operations in the dis- 
trict. Montevallo welcomes the es- 
tablishment of the office here and 
the men who will be employed in 
the operations. 



Whaley Chairman 
Of Water Board 

The new waterworks board for 
Montevallo has been set up and 
organized under the terms of a 
recent ordinance of the town in 
compliance with the franchise and 
purchase of the waterworks system 
by the town from Warrior Water 
Co. 

The new board is composed of 
R. E. Whaley, chairman ; John Fo- 
shee, secretary; and W. P. Mc- 
Conaughy. 

Mr. John Rhodes will be manager 
of operations and Miss Beatrice 
Fancher will continue as office 
clerk. 

The new management will take 
over on next Monday, September 
16. For a while the water office 
will remain in the same location. 

At present there will be no 
change of operating details of cen- 
cern to the public. The new 1 Board 
Chairman states that the question 
of water rates will be taken up be- 
fore long and there may be some 
changes in that respect. 

The co-operation of the people 
of the town is solicited by the new 
Board in the hope that future 
operations of our water system may 
result in better service to the com- 
munity in all respects. 



Brown Cotton Gin 
Now Operating 
In Montevallo 

The Brown Cotton Gin in Monte- 
vallo is in, excellent shape to serve 
the cotton farmers of this vicinity. 
The machinery has been put in 
good shape and is turning out a 
fine sample. Several bales have al- 
ready been ginned and the farmers 
are pleased with the service they 
are getting. The first bale was 
brought in during the past week 
from the farm of Kenneth Cunning- 
ham. 

Operation of the gin is in charge 
of J. A. Brown, Jr., the warehouse 
is in charge of James B. Higgins. 
These gentlemen are anxious to 
serve the farmers and assure you 
that you will get as good service 
here as you can find anywhere. 

The Montevallo Gin will operate 
every week day except Saturday 
during the cotton season. Remember 
bring your cotton any day except 
Saturday or Sunday. 



The Montevallo Community Chest 
Assembly held a called meeting 
August 26, to consider and discuss 
the question of continuing opera- 
tion of the Montevallo Community 
Chest. 

This discussion brought out some 
important considerations. In order 
to present the views of the assemb- 
ly fully to our readers we publish 
below the complete minutes of the 
meeting as recorded by Miss 
Edythe Saylor, Secretary : 

A special meeting of the Com- 
munity Chest Assembly was called 
for Monday night, August 26, 1946, 
at eight o'clock in the basement of 
the Methodist Church. The Presi- 
dent, Mrs. Bessie Merle Elliott, pre- 
sided. 

The following organizations were 
represented : 

A. A. U. W., Dr. Steckel; Ath- 
letic Club, Mitchell Young; Ameri- 
can Legion, Mitchell Young; B>. and 
P. W. Club, Lelah Brownfield; D. 
A. R., Mrs. Eugene Reynolds; East- 
ern Star, Mrs. Johnson and Rebecca 
Grady; Elementary School Faculty, 
Mrs. Peterson; Episcopal Church, 
Lorraine Peter; Girl Scout Council,

Miss Smenner; Montevallo Study 
Club, Mrs. E. Reynolds; U. D. C, 
Mrs. Sharp; Members of Chest 
Board, Minnie Dunn, Mr. Mahan; 
Advisor. Dr. Vaughan. 

Mrs. Elliott stated that the pur- 
pose of the meeting was to get to- 
gether to discuss plans for the com- 
ing year and to begin thinking 
about the drive, since there would 
be no war drive this year. 

Mr. Mahan, Chairman of the 
Board, briefly reviewed the history 
of the chest for the years before 
it was combined with the war chest, 
and discussed the cut in community 
chest budget during the combined 
drive. During the discussion that

Alabama Power Co. 
Publishes Book 
Featuring State 

"Alabama— A Good Place To 
Work and Live" is the title of a 
beautifully prepared book published 
by the Industrial Development 
Department of Alabama Power. 
The book was designed primarily 
for distribution at the Chemical 
Exposition in Chicago the week of 
September 9th at which an attend- 
ance of approximately 25,000 is ex- 
pected. The company also will have 
a large booth at the exposition at 
which the natural resources of Ala- 
bama will be dramatically displayed. 

The book, which is in keeping 
with the high standard set by Ala- 
bama Power Company, will also 
be used by the Industrial Develop- 
ment Department in its efforts to 
persuade industries in fields other 
than chemical to establish plants in 
Alabama. 

The company is also making the 
book available to Alabama Chamb- 
ers of Commerce and other indus- 
trial development groups. 



Mr. G. T. Towery has moved his 
wholesale automobile accessory 
business, the Towery Sales Comp-

OUR CLEAN-UP PROGRAM 

There are some noticeable evi- 
dences that the Clean-Up program 
in Montevallo is working effective- 
ly in some instances. On the other 
hand many '"seedy" places yet 
indicate that the owners have not 
yet heard about it. 

Let's pass the word around and 
make sure that every citizen is so 
impressed that co-operation in the 
effort will be one hundred per cent 
before the first of October. 

There are some things that Mon- 
tevallo can not do adequately for 
the visitors who will come here 
for the SOth Anniversary Celebra- 
tion of Alabama College, but we 
can make the town clean, neat and 
good-looking to those who come. 

Let's do it. Let's see that every- 
body does it. And remember there 
is no time for delay. The first of 
October will be here before you 
know it. 



FRIENDLY COLLEGE 

One can hardly fail to be im- 
pressed by the general atmosphere 
of friendliness and good will that 
pervades everything in and around 
Alabama College on Opening Day. 
Upon arrival, the newcomer is made 
to feel at home almost immediately 
with pleasant girls acting as pilots 
and gracious faculty members on 
hand to lend ready aid and counsel. 
Small enough to give the personal 
touch to each individual student, 
the College nevertheless offers 
Alabama women advantages in no 
wise inferior to those of much 
larger and richer institutions. 

The 'pleasant little town of Mon- 
tevallo is also distinguished by its 
air of hospitality and helpfulness. 
To the visitor, it appears suddenly 
out of a rather drab landscape like 
a little jewel in a plain setting with 
the picturesque hills of Shelby 
County framing it on the west, and 
the College grounds invitingly 
placed at its center. The towns- 
people, even on Sunday, find time 
to make new arrivals feel that they 
are welcome, even to the extent of 
opening closed doors and releasing 
impounded luggage. It seems to be 
everybody's business to be pleasant 
and hospitable to the incoming 
girls. 

Perhaps there are more stately 
campuses elsewhere, but the lovely 
oaks and quaint, brick-paved drives 
of the grounds of Alabama College 
are unquestionably attractive to the 
casual visitor and are no doubt a 
continuing source of pleasure to 
residents of the college. One is glad 
to miss the hurry and bustle of 
busier places in surroundings where 
birds have a chance to sing and 
squirrels to chatter without fear of 
persistent and discordant interrup- 
tion. No doubt there's noise enough 
when the girls all get started, but 
even then one suspects there is a 
certain modulation to preserve the 
air of Old World serenity that dis- 
tinguishes this college campus from 
others that we know. 

What the student gets out of col- 
lege depends more on the student 
than on the college; but insofar as 
environment goes, Alabama College 
appears to possess an ideal one for 
a girls' school, and from what we 
■ hear about the type of work done 
there, it deserves the high prestige 
it enjoys. — Montgomery Advertiser.

ALABAMA'S TOMORROWTOWNS 







-jmmmm 



In our advertisement a few months ago 
you read about the Tomorrowtowns of Ala- 
bama — those communities with the spirit to 
develop and make the most of their oppor- 
tunities. 

A plan underway by the Alabama State 
Chamber of Commerce and the Alabama 
Press Association should bring great bene- 
fits to Alabama's Tomorrowtowns — bene- 
fits which should, in time, total 40 million 
dollars a year! Forty million dollars is a 
lot of business and will give a lot of jobs to 
a lot of people. 

Forty million dollars is the amount which 
it is believed tourists will spend in Alabama 
IF they can be persuaded to spend more of 
their time in Alabama. (They spent 25 
million dollars a year in Alabama before the 
war.) 

If the plan to garner these 40 million tour- 
ist dollars is to succeed, civic groups all over 
Alabama must participate in it. The plan 
presents a challenge and offers an oppor- 
tunity to the Tomorrowtowns of Alabama. 

Write the Alabama State Chamber of 
Commerce, Montgomery 1, Alabama, for the 
outline of the plan which tells how individual 
communities can participate in the benefits 
resulting from 40 million dollars in tourist 
trade.

A PLEDGE WORTH ADOPTING 
The author of the following suggested pledge is Doyle Buckles, 
field manager, Alabama Press Association. Is is a pledge which, if 
adopted and followed by a large number of Alabama citizens, will 
do much to assist in the development of Alabama. 

"I pledge my loyalty to Alabama and to the products and the 
interest of the State in every line. 

"I propose to favor insofar as is practicable the purchase of the 
products of Alabama agriculture and Alabama industries. 

"I will ever speak well of Alabama, and seek to discourage those 
who would hold the state up to ridicule and contempt. 

"I pledge courteous and hospitable treatment to visitors to the 
state and an interest in giving to them the recreation and information 
that they may seek. 

"I pledge my interest in the beautification and modernization of 
my community in whatever way it is practicable for me to help. 

"I will regularly try to persuade friends elsewhere to visit 
'Alabama, Unlimited' — the Nation's No. 1 Economic Opportunity".

WHAT MAKES A BUSINESS 
RUR J\ TEMPERATURE 



J The amount of money Paid Out to provide 

telephone service is increasing faster than 
the amount Taken In. 

£ Telephone earnings are the lowest in our 

history. 

^ Reasonable telephone earnings are essential 
to good telephone service. 



Your Telephone Company is doing the largest 
volume of business in its history, yet tele- 
phone earnings continue to decline. 

The reason is perfectly clear. Your tele- 
phone rate has remained the same for many 
years while the costs of furnishing you tele- 
phone service have increased. Wages, tele- 
phone materials, building costs, services, all 
have been going up so fast that — 

the amount of money Paid Out to provide 
service is increasing faster than the 
amount Taken In. Actually telephone earn' 
ings today are the lowest in our history I 

As every business man knows, good service 
depends on reasonable earnings. That is basic. 
To render good telephone service and to 
continually improve and expand it, reasonable 
telephone earnings are essential. 

Our public duty demands that we report 
these facts to you.

followed the following points were 
brought out by various people : 

Last year we met the needs on 
reduced budget. 

There would be new demands this 
year. 

As far as we know there will be 
no united relief drive on a national 
scale this next year. 

The community is hoping to em- 
ploy a recreation worker for the 
year, the school to pay the salary 
for nine months. The Town Council 
has discussed this and it is hoped 
that they will assume part of the 
expenses for the three summer 
months. Will the chest assume the 
rest of the salary? 

If we have recreation in summer 
will there be a demand for other 
equipment ? 

During the past year the welfare 
needs have changed very much. On 
one case this past year $287 was 
spent for hospitilization. In the past

All of us are familiar with quizzes 
about this and that. Let's take this 
question: What is the strongest, eco- 
nomic family asset in America? Mil- 
lions of you could win the jackpot 
prize for the correct answer. XI. S. 
Savings Bonds, of course. Ownership 
of U. S. Savings Bonds is now part 
and parcel of our American way of 
life because Americans know that 
Savings Bonds help to build a better, 
firmer future. Americans know that 
they yield a good profit at no risk at 
all to the principal.

it was thought wise to steer clear 
of hospitilization. Money was often 
spent for glasses for grade school 
children but little for teeth. 

Lighting in the grade and high 
school was discussed at length. The 
children and mothers have done 
about us much as they can. The 
county will pay for the installation. 
Where will the rest of the money 
come from? 

It seemed to be the concensus of 
opinion that we could not do 
everything that was needed but that 
we could make a good start on 
some things. The Community Chest 
Board was charged with the task 
of making a study of the com- 
munity needs and suggesting a plan 
for the next ten years. The picture 
has changed so entirely since the 
Chest was set up that we need a 
new emphasis and approach, per- 
haps. The group felt that ■ an

attempt should be made to raise 
as much as we raised before the 
war for community chest purposes. 
The Board in making its study 
could call in other persons to assist. 
A report is to be made at the annual 
meeting of the Assembly in Sep- 
tember. 

There will be a great need to re- 
sell and reeducate the community 
to the needs of the new program. 

The general policy of the Board 
has been that if there are agencies 
that will do what needs to be done, 
let them do it. The Chest took care 
of the things not possible thru other 
agencies. Requests for help from 



the Community Chest must come 
from established organizations. The 
budget of the chest is made up after 
there has been a review of all the 
requests coming from the various 
agencies, in the light of how much 
money the Chest thinks can be rais- 
ed in the community. 

After about an hour and a half 
discussion the meeting adjourned.

the answers.

learn to recognize symptoms and to 
tell the doctor all about them. You 
will learn to take pulse, tempera- 
ture, and how to make a bed with 
a patient in it. 

Preparations to make for the ar- 
rival of the baby is one of the my- 
steries you fathom, and what to do 
in case of an emergency delivery. 
You'll likewise learn how to care 
for baby during the first year. 

And, too, how to make it easier 
for your patient for a long stay-in- 
bed period, and moreover, easier for 
yourself. 

Classes will be taught by Mrs. 
Martin, Red Cross itinerant nurse, 
beginning October ISth. You take 
12 lessons, and presto you come 
forth, Red Cross Home Nursing 
certificate in hand, and know-how 
in your head. 

All This And Streamlined Too 
Something new! A streamlined 
course in Home Nursing is also of- 
fered by your local Red Cross Chap- 
ter. Six lessons in care of the sick,

it right. Or if you already know 
how, maybe you'd like to brush up 
on the new methods of caring for 
the sick.

Red Cross Nursing 
Course Teaches 
Food Preparation 

Grandmother Brown was a com- 
fort and a refuge in time of trouble. 
And how the kids loved her bed- 
time-stories! But that last round 
with asthma had weakened her. 
She looked so frail and .wan even 
Scottie seemed worried as he snug- 
gled close to her rocking chair. 
What she needed was nourishing 
food. But everything, save a little 
black coffee, was turned aside after 
a few half-hearted bites. There was 
nothing wrong with her digestion. 
She just didn't care for the food 
on her tray. It was the same good 
food the family had at the table. 
Maybe that was the trouble. Grand- 
mother's appetite had to be coaxed. 
People below par in health lack 
the gusto that makes any food taste 
good. 

Preparing special diets is a skill. 
There are ways of making milk 
and eggs palatable to the jaded ap- 
petite. There are ways of substitu- 
ing for foods certain people like 
but may not have. The way in 
which food is served makes a dif- 
ference. In large hospitals skilled 
dietitians who know how are a 
boon. That is a luxury few house- 
holds can afford but everyone can 
learn how to prepare and serve ap- 
petizing meals for the sick, the aged 
and the very young. Learn how by 
taking the Red Cross Home Nurs- 
ing Course. Enroll now. Write your 
Red Cross Chapter, Columbiana, or

Alabama Coaches To

Officials of Alabama Coaches, 
Company extend an invitation to

new home office and bus station, 
in Montevallo, Tuesday, October 1, 
from 12:00 noon to 8:00 p. m. 

At the same time the Town 
House Restaurant, located in the 
new bus station building, will form- 
ally open to the patronage of the

The development of the new and 
improved facilities of Al a ba m a

of importance to the future of 
Montevallo. 

We urge you to respond to the 
invitation for the formal opening 
and see the great strides that have 
been made by this progressive local 
enterprise. You will find a just 
pride in the accomplishments. 



Motorists Assn. 
Asks For Higher 
Legal Driving Age 

When the Alabama State Legis- 
lature next convenes, the body will 
be asked by the Alabama Motorists 
Association to raise the legal auto- 
mobile driving age in Alabama from 
IS to 16. 

Directors of the Alabama affiliate 
of the American Automobile As- 
sociation at their recent meeting 
■unanimously passed a resolution 
favoring the raised driving age. 

"Immature drivers are at least 
partly responsible for the alarming 
increase in traffic accidents in Ala- 
bama," Alabama Motorists Associa 
tion President, Mark Hodo, declar- 
ed in starting the movement to 
make 16 the minimum driving age. 

While some states throughout the 
nation issue driver's licenses to 
youths 15 and in a few isolated 
cases 14. Most states authorize 
driver's licenses only to those 16, 
17, and 18 years of age or more. 

"With the high speeds of modern 
traffic and the obvious need for 
mature judgment at the wheel," 
President Hodo. said, "the Alabama 
Motorists Association feels the legal 
minimum age in our State should 
be at least 16." 



Recently added to the faculty 
of Alabama College is Mr. Sid- 
ney Forsythe, who holds the 
position of instructor in the de- 
partment of sociology. Mr. For- 
sythe was graduated with dis- 
tinction from the University of 
Kentucky in 1942, with a double 
major in modern languages and 
English.

Montevallo Baseball Team Closes Season 
With Record Of 34 Wins And 14 Losses 



With its last three regularly sche- 
duled games rained out, the Monte- 
vallo Athletic Club closed its 1946 
Baseball season last Sunday with 
an impressive record for the sea- 
son of 34 wins as against only 14 
losses. From the point of view of 
winning percentage, player partici- 
pation, organization, player interest, 
community interest, etc., this was 
the most successful season for a 
Montevallo Independent Baseball 
team in several years. 

During the season a total of 21 
local boys were in the lineup at one 
time or another and several of 
them displayed unusually good pos- 
sibilities. One' of the better infield- 
ers, Black Galloway .completed the 
season under contract with the St. 
Louis Cardinals and will report to 
the Winston-Salem farm club in the 
spring. Several others may follow 
similar courses after another year's 
training. 

The team was managed by Glen 
T. Bashore, local merchant, and 
Ned Carey assisted, but without the 
whole-hearted cooperation of all of 
the players and members of the 
Montevallo Athletic Club, the sea- 
son could not have been the success 
that it was. According to the Club's 
regulations, new officers and mana- 
gers will be elected at the end of 
the fiscal year, February 28.

MISS LILA FUNDABURK. 



College Graduate 
Establishes Fund 
For Scholarship 

Miss Lila Fundaburk of Luverne, 
Ala., former Alabama College stu- 
dent, won the $750 prize awarded 
for her essay entered in a contest 
conducted by the National Tax 
Equality Association of Chicago. 
Miss Fundaburk entrusted the prize 
money on Alabama College to be 
applied for a gift scholarship fund 
to be called the Georgia Emma 
Douglass scholarship fund in me- 
mory of her mother. 

Mr. Ralph B. Douglass of Nor- 
folk,, Virginia, an uncle of Miss 
Fundaburk's has matched her gift 
with an equal amount to be appli- 
ed to the scholarship, fund. 



Plans are already being made for 
the next season with a prospect of 
new uniforms and other equipment, 
and every player is looking forward 
to playing next season's home 
games under the lights. Such a pro- 
gram would add considerably to the 
interest manifested in the sport and 
to Montevallo's recreational pro- 
gram as a whole.

cluded are as follows :

Montevallo High, and Thompson 
High of Siluria opened the football 
season Friday at Montevallo with 
a jam-up game of football by both 
teams which ended in a 0-0 tie. 

The local team threatened to 
score once by recovering a block- 
ed punt on the Thompson 15 yard 
line and on three consecutive plays 
moved the ball to the Thompson 
2 yard line, however Thompson 
High line failed to yield on a line 
drive by Tommy Baker, and the 
ball was lost by Montevallo on 
downs. 

Outstanding players for Monte- 
vallo were Baker, and Wooley in 
the backfield and Lovelady, and 
Battle in the line. Montevallo plays

Efficiency Stressed 
In Harvesting Crops 

As we approach another harvest 
season, farmers should be remind- 
ed that efficiency in harvesting, 
assembling, storing, grading, pack- 
aging, marketing, and distributing 
is essential for food, feed and fiber 
to feed and clothe the people of 
this country and elsewhere through- 
out the world. 

To prevent' spoilage and waste, 
now is the time for farmers on a 
community, county, and state level 
to carefully check on the availabili- 
ty of markets, containers, bale ties, 
storage, transportation, and equip 
ment necessary for conserving 
crops and assuring maximum re- 
turns. 

Save sericea seed to increase 
acreage next spring, for hay and 
grazing. Save annual lespedeza 
seed. Save "first-year" cottonseed, 
Breeder seed will be scarce in 1947. 
Be sure to measure yields of special 
corn and cotton demonstrations. 

Economy of production will de 
termine whether dairying is to be- 
come a definite part of our farm 
ing system. Good cows, properly 
managed, and fed largely on home 
grown feeds are the determining 
factors. Now is time to do some 
culling, especially if feeds are 
scarce. One cow well fed will pro 
duce more milk than two or three 
cows only half fed. 

If pullets have not already been 
removed from range to permanent 
winter quarters, this should be done 
at the earliest possible moment. As 
the birds are brought in from the 
range and placed in winter quarters 
put drop of Black Leaf "40" under 
each wing, on thigh, one drop on 
back, and one under vent to kill a 
body lice. 

We encourage farmers to keep 
cotton dry and to keep foreign 
material out of cotton. 

Terracing : Just as soon as harvest 
will permit, farmers should be ready 
for fall and winter jobs. One of 
these is terracing. Men who can do 
this wgrk may need tfaining. Now 
is time to plan for this. Due to 
shortages of materials, P.M. A. can 
greatly facilitate terracing for the 
remainder of the year.

Some young men know what they want and plan for it. Others are 
still looking for their niche. The new Regular Army can help both. 

Perhaps you want to go to college but can't afford it. If you 
enlist in the Army, you'll get your chance. Honorably discharged 
after a three-year enlistment, you are eligible for 48 months of edu- 
cation at any college, trade, or business school for which you can 
qualify. The Government will pay your tuition, laboratory fees, 
etc., up to $500 per ordinary school year, plus $65 a month living 
allowance— $90 a month if you have dependents. 

If you haven't found your spot, an Army enlistment offers you 
training in any of 200 trades and skills. You leave the service eligible 
for further training at the best civilian schools. 

You can assure yourself of the benefits of the GI Bill of 
Rights if you enter the Army on or before October 5, 1946. 
See your nearest Army Recruiting Station for details.

Adequate Service 

Depends on Adequate Earnings 



Your Telephone Company is doing the largest 
volume of business in its history, yet tele- 
phone earnings continue to go down rapidly. 
The reason is perfectly clear. While your tele- 
phone rate has remained the same for many 
years, the costs of furnishing you service 
have increased. Wages, building costs, tele- 
phone materials, services, all have been going 
up so fast that — 

The amount of money Paid Out to provide 
service is increasing faster than the amount 
Taken In. Actually telephone earnings today 
are the lowest in our history! 

It is basic with any business that good service 
depends on reasonable earnings. To render 
good telephone service and to continually 
improve and expand it, reasonable telephone 
earnings are essential. 

J The amount of money Paid Out to provide 
telephone service is increasing faster than 
the amount Taken In. 

2 Telephone earnings are the lowest in 
history. 

^ Reasonable telephone earnings are essen- 
tial to good telephone service. 

Our public duty demands that we give 
you these facts.

To those who eagerly await 

their new Chevrolets . . . 

Here Is the Latest News 
about Chevrolet 
Deliveries 

Everybody from factory to deafer is doing everything 
that can be done to speed deliveries to you 

We have been informed by the Chevrolet Motor Division that ... 
the past month has witnessed only a slight improvement in 
the rate of production of new Chevrolet passenger cars. As 
a result, shipments of new cars to dealers for delivery are 
still far below the level we and the factory had hoped to 
attain by this time. In fact, through August, Chevrolet's 
output of cars in 1946 was only 22.6% of the number turned 
out during the corresponding poriod'of 1941. 



We know that Chevrolet is doing everything possible to 
step up its production totals— to ship more and more cars to 
us and to its thousands of other dealers throughout America 
. . . and we know, too, that we are assured of getting our full 
proportionate share of the current output and of future 
production gains. 

Disappointing as the total figures have been — and despite 
the fact that Chevrolet was out of production entirely during 
the first three months of the year — it is nevertheless true 
that Chevrolet led all other manufacturers in, production of 
passenger cars during June 1946, and has continued to main- 
tain its lead in total production from that day to this. 

We shall continue to make deliveries of new Chevrolets 
to our customers just as fast as we receive them; we regret 
delays as deeply as you do; we thank you for your friendly 
patience and understanding; and we promise you a new high 
motoring experience when you take delivery of your new 
Chevrolet, giving BIG-CAR QUALITY AT LOWEST COST! 



Keep Your 
Present Car Alive 

Meanwhile', may we suggest 
that you Safeguard your 
transportation by bringing 
your car to us for service now 
and at regular intervals. Let 
us help you to keep it in good 
running condition— to main- 
tain its performance, appear- 
ance and resale value— until 
the day when your new Chev- 
rolet comes along.

Mayor Sharp Urges 
Employment Of 
Handicapped Persons 

WHEREAS, Victory in World 
War II cost us more than 2,000,000 
casualities and 

WHEREAS, there are many mil- 
lions of handicapped persons in the 
United States, many of whom by 
their efforts were of great aid in 
manufacturing munitions or provid- 
ing essential service for the war 
effort, and 

WHERAS, all of these persons 
including disabled ve t e r a n s of 
World War I and II deserve self- 
supporting, self-respecting jobs in 
which they can make useful con- 
tributions to our community, state 
and nation. 

NOW, THEREFORE, I, C. G. 
Sharp, Mayor of the City of Mon- 
tevallo, do set aside the week of 
October 6 to October 12, as EM- 
PLOY PHYSICALLY HANDI- 
CAPPED WEEK, and I call upon 
all local officials, all local employers 
all local civic organizations and all 
citizens to assist in every way pos- 
sible, to the end that it shall be 
brought to the attention of all mem- 
bers of our community that dis- 
abled veterans and other handicap- 
ped civilians are fully capable and 
are performing efficiently, safety 
and reliably in thousands of differ- 
ent occupations. 

AND I FURTHER URGE ALL 
EMPLOYERS to place all their job 
orders with the United States Em- 
ployment Service so that disabled 
veterans and other handicapped 
workers may be given an oppor- 
tunity to prove their value in pro- 
ductive and self-respecting jobs. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I 
have hereunto set my hand and 
caused the seal of the City of Mon- 
tevallo to be affixed. 

C. G. Sharp, 
Mayor

Help A Veteran 
Get A Job 



<^ v SERVICE 




U.S. & § 

>, EMPLOYMENT 
^ SERVICE V 

With 11,000 handicapped workers, 
including 6,600 veterans, seeking 
jobs through the U. S. Emplby- 
ment Service in Aalabama, all 
USES offices in the state are 
spearheading community action to 
open up job opportunities in line 
with National Employ the Physi- 
cally Handicapped Week, October 
6-12. 

Since he war's end. 3000 disabled 
veterans in Alabama have been 
placed in jobs through USES, C. F. 
Anderson, State Director, announc- 
ed. But more than twice that num- 
ber of ex-soldiers discharged with 
disabilities are job hunting, and 
each month's crop of new applica- 
tions of the handicapped is swelling 
the backlog of the unemployed, 
demanding the full cooperation of 
all employers if job opportunities 
are to open up. 

USES is now placing a monthly 
average of 400 handicapped persons 
on jobs in the State, as compared 
with a monthly average of 10 in 
1942, proof of how far employers 
have gone in learning the value of 
the disabled worker in industry. 
But with approximately 900 handi- 
capped persons filing applications 
for work each month, the current 
utilization of the disabled in Ala- 
bama industry isn't sufficient to 
handle the problem. 

It cannot be emphasized too 
strongly, the USES Director point- 
ed out, that these men and women 
with disabilities who are looking for 
jobs do not want hand-outs, wheth- 
er during the war they were on the 
battlefield or the production line, 
they want an opportunity to serve 
in peace as they served in war. 

Matched with the right job, as 
USES personnel are trained to 
match them, handicapped workers 
are assets to themselves, their em- 
ployers, and their community. 

All employers are urged to list 
their openings with their local em- 
ployment service office, in order 
that disabled veterans and others 
seeking work may have their chance 
for selective placement on jobs for 
which they are qualified.

Hospital Bill 
Appropriation Is 
Regarded Certain 

Although no funds have yet been 
appropriated for putting into opera- 
tion the Hill-Burton hospital con- 
struction measure passed a few 
weeks ago by Congress and approv- 
ed on August 13 by President Tru- 
man, there is every reason to be- 
lieve that the amount regarded as 
necessary to carry out the program 
provided for in the bill will be ap- 
propriated soon after Congress re- 
convenes in January, according to 
Dr. B. F. Austin, State Health Of- 
ficer. 

"The Hill-Burton Act, now known 
as Public Law 725, authorizes an an- 
nual appropriation of $75,000,000 a 
year for five years to assist local 
communities in construction of non- 
profit hospitals, health centers and 
similar institutions," he said. "How- 
ever, the actual appropriation must 
be carried in another bill, and that 
must await the reconvening of 
Congress after the present recess. 
Since the Representatives and 
Senators showed by their votes that 
they were in favor of spending this 
sum in Federal funds and the presi- 
dent showed his approval by sign- 
ing the Hill-Burton bill, it seems 
only a matter of time before the 
all-important funds will be made 
available."

Miss Jennie Tourel, mezzo-so- 
prano of the Metropolitan Opera 
Company, will present a song re- 
cital at Alabama College on Oct- 
ober 13, at 3 :00 p. m. in Palmer Hall 
The concert is presented in connec- 
tion with the Fiftieth Anniversary 
of the founding of Alabama Col- 
lege and will be attended by stu- 
dents, faculty, and guests who are 
present for the celebration activi- 
ties. 

Miss Tourel, who is of Russian 
parentage, was brought up in 
France and Switzerland. She was 
well on her way to becoming a 
concert pianist when a friend heard 
her sing and suggested that she 
study voice. Within a few years, she 
was singing publicily and in 1937 
made her deubt with Paris Opera 
Comique singing the role of Car- 
men. She was still in Europe at 
the beginning of the war, but man- 
aged to leave France two days be- 
fore the German occupation. She 
came to the United States via Lis- 
bon. 

Making her American debut sing- 
ing with Toscanini and the New 
York Philharmonic Symphony So- 
ciety in October, 1942, she was in- 
vited during the same month to ap- 
pear with Serge Koussevitsky and 
the Boston Symphony and with 
Leopold Stokowsky and the NBC 
Symphony. Her Town Hall debut 
recital was presented in November 
1943, and she joined the Metropoli- 
tan Opera in 1944, making her 
initial performance with that com- 
pany in the opera "Mignon." She 
was the first mezzo-soprano to sing 
the role of Rosina in "The Barber 
of Seville," in the original version 
at the Metropolitan. Last season 
she made her first transcontinental 
tcur, presenting concerts in the 
United States and Canada. The pro- 
gram she will present at Alabama 
College will open with "If Music 
be the Food of Love," by the Eliza- 
bethan composer Henry Purcell, "O 
Sleep, Why Dost Thou Leave Me" 
from "Semele" by Handel, and "Oh, 
Yes, Just So" from "Phoebus and 
Pan," by Bach. This group will be 
followed by the aria "Voi Lo 
Sapete" from Mascagni's "Caval- 
leria Rusticana." She will then be 
heard in Duparc's "Chanson Triste," 
Debussy's "Mandoline." Faure's 
"Les Berceaus," "Si mes Vers

MONTE VALLO, ALABAMA 



THE MON T E VALLO TIMES 



Many Foreign 
Students Attend 
Alabama College 

Alabama College has the largest 
contingent of foreign students on 
the campus this year than ever in 
the previous history of the college. 
The group includes : Senoritas 
Mercedes Chavez of Manogua, 
Nicaragua, Susanne Mallorino, Car- 
men Beck, Emilia Morales, sisters 
Julia and Maria Castro, all of 
Bogota, Colombia, and Martha Ruth 
Waldheim of Guatemala, Mils. 
Eve Marie Rosa Zelvelder, of 
France ; Jean Brusque and Chantal 
Bumont, also of France. They will 
study in their chosen fields and 
teach in the modern language de- 
partment. 

Susanne and Emilia are planning 
their course of study leading into 
the field of teaching as both have 
had precious experience. Susanne 
plans to resume her same position 
in Colombia when she returns, but 
Emilia desires to get her . master's 
degree at some American univer- 
sity. She is beginning her second 
year at Alabama Collage and is 
majoring in languages and liberal 
arts, with outside interests being 
music and painting. 

Emilia thinks Americans are 
much more friendly than Colom- 
bians and is "crazy about the U. S." 
Carmen and Susanne have been in 
this country only a little while ; thus 
their impressions are still first ones. 
Carmen stated that she has only 
good impressions. "I like very 
much," she said. She wants to study- 
to be a Spanish-English stenograp- 
her. Susanne remarked that she had 
always wanted to come to the 
United States. She is especially im- 
pressed with our democratic ways 
of life. 

Julia and Maria Castro arrived in 
New York with their mother two 
months ago. Maria wishes to study 
public health and medical techno- 
logy, while her sister is interested in 
social science and social work. 
Maria was amazed upon her arrival 
at the great rush everyone was in. 
Maria's principal sideline is danc- 
ing. She has studied /ballet and 
other types of dancing since she 
was a small child and knows some- 
thing of native Spanish dances. 
Juliai likes sports and reading, and, 
though she felt just a little home- 
sick at first, admits with a gleam 
in her eyes that "this is a GREAT 
country." She particularly noticed 
the difference between the costumes 
worn in the United States and those 
of her native country. 

Eve Zelvelder, who is from Paris, 
France, hopes some day to be able 
to return to America permanently, 
and is thus planning to take her 
college work in commercial sub- 
jects.

4-H Member Is 
Awarded Prize Calf 

E. H. Wilson, A*st. County Agent 

Tommy Johnson, son of Mr. and 
Mrs. I. P. Johnson of Montevallo 
was presented with a prize Her- 
ford steer in Birmingham, Septem- 
ber 26, by the Birmingham News. 
Each year the Birmingham News 
awards county winners a prize calf 
as an appreciation of the fine job 
done by 4-H Club members in rais- 
ing beef calves. Tommy's Herford 
Calf won first place at the County- 
wide beef cattle show held in Ca- 
lera last spring. It weighed 1070 
and sold for 35c a pound. 

The awarding of the calves was 
highlighted at a luncheon at the 
Thomas Jefferson Hotel attended 
by 4-H Winners from 23 Counties. 
Tommy's father and E. H. Wilson, 
Asst. County Agent also attended 
from Shelby County. 

Tommy has already purchased

Brown Building Is 
Destroyed By Fire 

Fire of undetermined origin was 
discovered about seven o'clock last 
Monday morning in the J. A. 
Brown Building, which was occupi- 
ed by The Brown Bag Plant, The 
Montevallo Grocery Co., and busi- 
ness offices of the J. A. Brown 
Companies. The fire started in the 
rear basement of the building and 
was raging when the fire depart- 
ment was summoned. 

In spite of the efforts of all fire 
lighters and equipment of Monte- 
vallo, Calera and Alabama College 
the blaze crept slowly through the 
entire building reducing the con- 
tents and building to an almost 
complete loss. 

It was a stubborn fire, owing to 
the nature of the contents of the 
building. When the walls began to 
collapse/ it was feared that the ad- 
joining Masonic Building would be 
in serious danger. The firemen 
made preparation to meet this im- 
pending threat, but the fire was 
confined to the Brown Building. 

The fire fighters did a good job 
under the most difficult circum- 
stances. Many visitors from dis- 
tant places were in town for the 
College Anniversary Celebration. 
When they witnessed the manner 
in which the volunter fighters 
handled the job they expressed 
commendation for the good work 
done by our volunteers and their 
helpers from Calera and the Col- 
lege. 

The building was one of the 
landmarks of Montevallo. It was 
originally built close to 50 years 
ago as Kroell's Store, by the late 
George Kroell. For many years it 
was one of the widely known trade 
places in this part of the' state. 

J. A. Brown has owned the pro- 
perty for the past fifteen years, 
during which time it has been the 
home of several businesses interests 
known as the J. A. Brown Com- 
panies. 



MEN INVADE WOMEN'S 
COLLEGE. Alabama College has 
broken a fifty-year precedent by 
allowing men to take courses and 
attend classes for the first time in 
its half-century history. The state 
school for women has already en- 
rolled veterans, who arc taking 
courses under the provisions of the 



G. I. Bill of Rights, which provides 
for further education for veterans 
at government expense. Shown 
above are some of the men stu- 
dents on the terrace of Reynolds 
Hall with a number of Alabama 
College's regular women students. 
The G. I.'s were permitted to en- 
roll in an effort of the college to 



help veterans begin their college 
education without delay. The re- 
tarding of the veterans program 
has been caused by the lack of 
space in men's and co-educational 
colleges to accommodate the large 
influx cf returning G. I.'s who want 
to take advantage of the educa- 
tional provisions of the G. I. bill. 



Dr. Harman Thanks 
Townspeople For 
Part In Anniversary 

On behalf of the College I wish 
to express sincere thanks to the 
people of Montevallo who so graci- 
ously and so cordially cooperated 
with the College in the celebration 
of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the 
Founding of the College. For 
obvious reasons I cannot single out 
for special recognition any of the 
people of the Town as I have not 
singled out any of the people of 
the College Community. To omit 
any name in such circumstances 
would be unfortunate. However, I 
am very sure I speak for all the 
people on the Hill when I say that 
we are deeply gratified both to in- 
dividuals and to all community 
organizations that in any way con- 
tributed to the successful culmina- 
tion of a very important enterprise. 
We are happy that Alabama Col- 
lege is located among good people 
here in this lovely village. To all 
of you who shared our exercises 
with us or who in any way con- 
tributed any part to a memorable 
occasion, from the depths of our 
hearts we say THANK YOU. 

A. F. HARMAN 

President.

Notice To Voters 

The Veterans' Committee in a county wide meeting at Ca- 
lera, Alabama, October 8, 1946, unanimously passed the fol- 
lowing resolution: 

It is common knowledge that the powers that control elec- 
tions in Shelby County do encourage or permit many election 
• frauds to be committed for the purpose that a favored few 
may secure and hold county offices against an honest majority 
of the qualified voters of the county and this especially true in 
the handling of the absentee ballots. 

This is a General Election with U. S. Officials being elected. 

THEREFORE, for the purpose that many frauds may be 
eliminated, we endorse and recommend to those who have and 
hold the authority to administer the election laws and more 
particular the absentee ballot law the following: 

Qualified voters who are temporarily absent from the county 
must make unsolicited applications for their absentee ballots. 

Qualified voters whose duties may require their being ab- 
sent from the county on November 5 th, be required to make 
oath before proper official and vote in person before such of- 
ficial. 

Absentee ballots must not be mailed out to any individual 
or persons to an address within Shelby County. 

Absentee ballots must not be sent out other than through 
the mail and then only to those who have made a personal re- 
quest in writing for his or her individual ballot. 

All absentee ballots not voted in person before the proper 
official at the Court House and of those not returned through 
the mails are hereby agreed to be rejected. 

It is also agreed that each political party be allowed a reput- 
able representative to check and inspect all applications, as to 
the qualifications of such applicant, inspect all ballots going 
out and of all ballots returned after being voted and that such 
ballots are safely and securely locked at the end of each day and 
that said representatives aid and co-operate in every way pos- 
sibe that an honest and fair absentee ballot election may be held. 

NOW BE IT RESOLVED THAT a copy of this request or 
resolution be mailed to each of the following: Judge of the 1 
Circuit Court of Shelby County; Solicitor of the Circuit Court* 
of Shelby County; Chairmm of the Democratic Party of Shelby 
County; Chairman of the Republican Party of Shelby County; 
and to the Federal Judges of this District, requesting that a. 
joint understanding may be had, thereby hoping that a fair and 
honest election may be held in Shelby County on the coming 
November 5th.

How Hot Is Fever? 

When Johnny came home late 
for supper his face was flushed and 
he would not eat. Mother felt his 
forehead, yes, it was hot. She re- 
membered suddenly that there was 
a case of scarlet fever in the next 
block. 

It was ten o'clock before the doc- 



tor was able to come. So many 
patients to see in these days of doc- 
tor scarcity! Well— no. Johnny had 
no fever. That exciting ball game, 
doubtless, heated him. And a quar- 
rel with the umpire upset him so 
that he had no appetite. "Johnny 
will be all right," said the doctor, 
"after a good sleep. And by the 
way, Mrs. Jones, why don't you 
learn to read the thermometer?. 

Taking tmeperature is a skill 
everyone should learn. It isn't easy 
because the clinical thermometer is 
so small, the mercury column has 
to be magnified and that makes it 
hard to read, until you know how. 
There's the trick too of shaking 
the thermometer down, clever when 
you get the knack of it. 

Taking temperature is but one of 
the useful skills you can learn by 
taking the Red Cross Home Nurs- 
ing Course. Enroll now. Write Shel- 
by County Red Cross Chapter or

Your Telephone Company is doing the largest 
volume of business in its history, yet tele- 
phone earnings are still declining rapidly. 

The reason is perfectly clear. Your telephone 
rate has remained the same for many years 
while the costs of furnishing you telephone 
service have increased. Wages, telephone ma- 
terials, building costs, services, all have been 
going up so fast that — 

the amount of money Paid Oat to pro- 
vide service is increasing faster than 
the amount Taken In. Actually tele" 
phone earnings today are the lowest in 
our history! 

As every business man knows, good service 
depends on reasonable earnings. That is basic. 
To render good telephone service and to con- 
tinually improve and expand it, reasonable 
telephone earnings are essential. 

Our public duty demands that we report these 
facts to you.

World War II veterans employed 
by Alabama Power Company who 
are receiving "on-the-job training" 
through the cooperation of Alabama 
Power Company, Veterans Admin- 
istration and the State Department 
of Education. These trainees reg- 
ularly attend classes outside of work- 
ing hours to help them become more 
skilled in their jobs of serving you. 

There are many such groups with 
us; over three hundred employees 
who are World War II veterans are 
taking these training courses which 
cover 19 skills. Other groups of em- 
ployees also participate in special- 
ized training classes. 



You may be interested in knowing 
that 847 employees of Alabama Pow- 
er Company entered military serv- 
ice and over three-fourths of those 
who have been discharged have 
elected to return to their jobs with 
us. Many of the remaining one- 
fourth are completing their educa- 
tion and will want to be employed 
by Alabama Power Company after 
graduation. (Over 250 are still in 
military service.) 

The average number of Alabama 
Power Company employees during 
the v^ar was 2,800. The average 
now is 3,625. Most of these addi- 
tional 825 employees are World 
War II veterans.

A Message To The Voters 
of Shelby County 

CHARLES R. ALLEN STILL IN 
SHERIFF'S RACE 

To the Voters of Shelby County: 

Information has just reached me that I had withdrawn 
from the Sheriff's race, which I wish to state is erroneous. This 
mis-information, I am sure, grew out of a statement made by 
m; on several occasions since I was nominated: "that should 
the people wish to nominate a GI to make the race for Sheriff 
I would gladly withdraw from the race and support the GI 
nominee 100 per cent," but since this has not occurred and the 
time for making new nominations in the county has expired, I 
want my friends to know that I am in the race to the finish. 

I am not an ex-service man, was too young in World War 
No. 1 and over age in World War No. 2, but I have a son just 
recently returned from military services in the Pacific and Ja- 
pan of whom I am very proud, just as I am of all the boys who 
had a part in bringing us victory in one of the worse wars in 
history. 

I did not aspire to the Sheriff's office, was given the nom- 
ination unsolicited by my friends and neighbors, some of the 
best people in the world. 

I have to date canvassed a large part of our county and 
have had the pleasure of meeting lots of good people in their 
homes and I want to say that the response to my candidacy is 
gratifying. 

I have lived in Shelby County a number of years. I owri 
and live on a farm half-way between Columbiana and Wil- 
sonville. I have a family consisting of mother, wife, daughter 
and two sons and it is for their welfare, my neighbors, friends 
and the good people over the county that I would like to be 
Sheriff and see if I could not help make it a better place for 
law abiding citizens to live. 

I have recently noticed in the Birmingham daily papers 
some serious criticisms of flagrant violation in Shelby County. 
I also noticed where the Sheriff of Jefferson County stated 
that he had run all the big gamblers out of Jefferson across 
the county line into Shelby. I don't know whether any of this 
is true or not, but we have several county papers and I haven't 
seen any denial of these charges. I want to tell the good people 
of Shelby County if I am elected Sheriff, gamblers and other 
violators will not be able to boast of a safe refuge in Shelby 
County. I want the people to know also that there will be no 
strings tied to me. I stand for the full enforcement of the laws 
of Alabama. I would like to help redeem the good name of 
Shelby County and make it a safe and happy place for law 
abiding citizens to live. 

I am trying to make a house to house canvass of the coun- 
ty as I would like to see and talk to every voter before the 
election. 

I will appreciate it if you will investigate me and my pro- 
gram and if it meets with your approval, then help me carry 
it out by supporting me on November 5 th.

Montevallo Wins First Night Football 
Game From Centerville By Score of 12-6 



The 

Montevallo Times 

VOL. XIV. — No. 26 MONTEVALLO, ALABAMA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1946 



The Montevallo High School 
Bulldogs won a hard fought game 
•with the Bibb County High School 
football team by the score of 12 
to 6 last Friday Night. The game 
was the kind football fans dream 
of seeing, for it was all football 
until the final play. 

Centerville scored in the first 
period by intercepting a Montevallo 
pass, making the score six to noth- 
ing, and again in the second period 
Centerville intercepted another pass 
und raced across the line for what 
looked to be another touchdown 
until the play was called bdek to 
the five ward line where the player 
running with the ball had thrown 
his helmet down. On a running 
play from this position Centerville 
fumbled the ball and it was re- 
covered by Monteavllo. 

The Montevallo Bulldogs scored 
their first touchdown in the second 
period on a pass from Baker to 
Williams. 

Centerville kicked off to Monte- 
vallo after the half period and 
Woolley, weighing 128 pounds did 
as pretty a bit of returning as has 
ever been seen on the local field, 
by taking the ball on his own three

Local Study Club 
Holds Meeting 

Mrs. M. L. Orr, Sr., and Mrs. 
Frank Philpot were hostesses on 
Thursday afternoon, October 24, to 
the Montevallo Study Club at the 
home of Mrs. Philpot. 

Arrangements of fall flowers 
were placed throughout the living 
and dining rooms. 

After the reading of the club 
collect and the salute to the flag 
the business session was opened 
with Mrs. W. J. Kennedy, presi- 
dent in the chair. 

The program consisted of 'an 
interesting group discussion of 
World Peace plans previous to the 
Atlantic charter. The discussion 
was led by Mrs. Frank Wallace 
and Mrs. George Douglas. 

The hostesses, assisted by Mrs. 
A. C. Anderson, served a salad 
course with coffee. 

Two new members, Mrs. R. J. 
Mabry and Mrs. Milton Orr Jr., 
were welcomed into the club.

Mrs. Curtis Merchant shopped in

yard line and running to his right 
almost to the side line then re- 
versing the field and carrying the 
ball down the field to the fifty. 
From this point the Bulldogs 
marched down the field to their 
second touchdown. 

The Centerville eleven threatened 
to score for almost the entire last 
period. Through a series of pass 
plays they moved the ball to the 
Montevallo one yard line and on 
fourth down with two minutes left 
to play Tommy Baker saved the 
day for Montevallo by intercepting 
Centerville's pass in the end zone 
and returning the ball to the Mon- 
tevallo ten where the local team 
held the ball until the end of the 
game. 

It would be unfair to say Monte- 
vallo had any outstanding players 
because all of the boys were out- 
standing in that they showed great 
teamwork. Coach Ford is to be con- 
gratulated on his fine work in 
whipping the boys into a fine team, 
and also in backing his boys to the 
limit. 

Montevallo renews an old feud 
this week, playing Columbiana on 
the high school field at 7:30 p. m. 
Friday. 




MISS BETH PETERSON 

Home Economist To 
Discuss Development 
Of Textiles Field 



Recent developments in the fields 
of nylon, rayon, plastics, textile 
finishes, and other results of re- 
search in the chemical laboratory, 
particularly those which may af- 
fect the American home, will be 
discussed October 28, 7:00 p. m., 
Comer Auditorium at Alabama Col- 
lege by Miss Beth Peterson, home 
economist, of E. I. du Pont de 
Nemours and Co., before the Ivol 
Spafford Club and any other per- 
sons who are interested. 

Because many basic chemicals 
now have been released from their 
wartime tasks to find their way in- 
to long awaited consumer products, 
Miss Peterson will show new de- 
velopments in the chemical indus- 
try which are destined to affect 
changes in the postwar home. She 
will point out how the new mater- 
ials fit into an era of functionalism, 
in which each is designed to fulfill 
a specific need and use. 

Mrs. Russell To Open 
Insurance Agency 

Mr. Traylor of Clanton, was in 
Montevallo Wednesday making ar-

R. H. Russell. 

"This is the Big Jim Folsom 
Company," said Mr. Traylor. "We 
have active agencies all over north 
Alabama and South Alabama. We 
are now setting up our business

The Shelby County Health De- 
partment announced today that 
plans have been completed for the 
mass blood testing made necessary 
by the measure enacted by the 1943 
session of the Legislature. This 
law requires that all people, be- 
tween the ages of 14 and 50 in- 
clusive, living in Alabama (except 
members of the Armed Forces) 
have a blood test for syphilis. The 
State and County Health Depart- 
ment have set the period beginning 
November 12, 1946 and ending Nov- 
ember 22, 1946 for applying this 
law in Shelby County. 

Dr. Sloan, County Health Of- 
ficer, expressed satisfaction with 
the response of all citizens of Col- 
umbiana and Shelby County. Said 
the Health Officer. "Our people 
are alert to the danger to health 
and life which results from the 
venereal infections. Blood testing is 
a normal, routine health protec- 
tion employed alike by the public 
health services and by private 
physicians." 

Then asked the cause of this 
disease, Dr. Sloan gave the follow- 
ing explanation : "Syphilis is caus- 
ed by a germ which doctors call 
the 'pale'. Usually, that is, 90 per 
cent of the time, this germ is 
passed from person to person by 
intimate body contact. Many 
mothers pass the disease to their 
unborn children. About 60,000 
babies are born each year with this 
disease. In almost every case, this 
tragedy could have been prevent- 
ed. Treatment, given in time, pro- 
tects the unborn child. The great 
majority of infected mothers do 
riot know that they have the dis- 
ease. The present Alabama pro- 
gram is designed only to protect 
our citizens of the present, but also 
the unborn babies of the future." 

Dr. Sloan continued, "Medical 
science knows of two ways to con- 
trol syphilis. One way is early, 
continuous, and complete treatment. 
The second method is preventive. 
The only acceptable program of 
prevention now know is to improve 
the sex conduct of the general 
population. Syphilis is spread large- 
ly as a result of promiscuous sex 
behavior. Reduce socially disaprov- 
ed sex conduct, and to that extent 
you control the spread of syphilis. 
This will require the support of 
high ideals in the home, church, 
and school. The infection itself is 
not a moral problem, but the man- 
ner in which syphilis is spread from 
person to person may be, and us- 
ually is, a moral and ethical prob- 
lem. Many innocent people have 
syphilis. Dr. Thomas Parran, Sur- 
geon General of the United States 
Public Health Service, is authority 
for the statement that fifty per- 
cent of the people who acquire 
syphilis are entirely innocent of 
wrong doing. Certainly the child, 
who, before birth, received the 
disease from its mother, is without 
blame. Many innocent wives re- 
ceive the infection from their hus- 
bands. Someone is responsible in 
90 per cent of the cases for passing

the infection on. Along with our 
blood testing program, we need 
education and moral idealism," 
concluded Dr. Sloan. 

This survey is given by the Shel- 
by County Health Department co- 
operating with the State Health 
Department carrying out the pro- 
visions of the Henderson Bill pass- 
ed by the Legislature of the State 
of Alabama requiring all residents 
between the ages of 1 and 50 to 
get a blood test for syphilis. 

Each person getting the test will 
be issued a certificate stating that 
they have complied with the law. 

After the Blood test campaign is 
over investigations from the State 
Health Department will make a 
thorough check on white cards to 
determine who missed the test. 

Will need 20 clerks and nurses. 
Apply at Health Department or 
Employment Office at Calera, Ala.

A MESSAGE OF INTEREST 

to all who await deliveries 
of new Chevrolets 



We want you to know that everything possible is being done to 
speed deliveries to you; but production still lags far behind schedule 
—even though Chevrolet has built more cars and trucks than 
any other manufacturer from January through September 1946 



r E REALIZE how eagerly you are 
awaiting delivery of the new Chevrolet 
you have ordered from us, and we want to 
pass on to you the latest information received 
from the Chevrolet Motor Division, even 
though that information isn't too encouraging 
at this time. 

It is true that Chevrolet leads all other 
manufacturers in total production of 
passenger cars and trucks from January 
through September 1946, despite the fact 
that Chevrolet was out of production entirely 
during the first three months of this year. It 
is also true that Chevrolet has continued to 
maintain its lead in total production during 
the third quarter of 1946. And yet production 
is still running far below desired levels, with 
the result that Chevrolet's output of cars and 
trucks through September 1946 was only 
38.7% of the number produced during the 
corresponding period of 1941. 

This means it may take many months for 
the Chevrolet Motor Division to reach peak 



production of new Chevrolets— even longer to 
fill the unprecedented demand for this product 
of BIG-CAR QUALITY AT LOWEST COST 
—and, for the present at least, "there just 
aren't enough Chevrolets to go around," much 
as we wish there were. 

However, we want you to know that new 
Chevrolets are leaving the plants in the largest 
numbers possible today. The Chevrolet Motor 
Division tells us it is doing everything it can, 
in the face of continued suppliers' strikes, 
material shortages and manpower problems, to 
step up shipments to us and to all dealers, in 
accordance with a predetermined distribution 
plan assuring each dealer of his fair allotment, 
based on 1941 passenger car sales. And we, in 
turn, are doing our best to deliver new Chev- 
rolets to our customers as rapidly as they are 
received and in the fairest possible way. We 
are too appreciative of your loyalty and good- 
will—too grateful for your patience and under- 
standing — to do anything less than continue 
to serve you to the very best of our ability. 




KEEP YOUR PRESENT CAR RUNNING 

Meanwhile, the most important car of all to you is the car 
you are driving now. May we suggest that you keep it in top run- 
ning condition until you secure delivery of your new Chevrolet, by 
bringing it to us for skilled service now and at regular intervals. 
Remember — cold weather is hardest on old cars. Please see us 
for a complete check-up today. . . . And, again, thank you!

4-H Boys Should 
Plan Corn Crop 

More Corn Per Acre 

4-H Club boys who are planning 
to have a corn project next spring 
should begin to plan and prepare 
for it now. The fall, is the best 
time to prepare for "More Corn 
Per Acre". The best and cheapest 
yields of corn are being made when 
planted behind a winter legume 
turned under several weeks before 
corn planting time. 

Every 4-H Club boy and farmer 
who really wants to make high 
yields of corn, the cheapest way 
hottld plant, if you have not al- 
ready done so, as many acres in 
winter legumes as you are going to^ 
plant in corn next spring. 

Helpful Hints To The Poultryman 

While eggs are bringing a good 
price Shelby County Poultrymen 
will want to get the maximum egg 
production. 

If hens are infested with lice 
they will not lay their best and 
egg production will drop off. In- 
spect your flock for lice. If any 
lice are present, put a drop of 
Black Leaf "40" under each wing, 
on thigh, on the back and under the 
rent. • 

The changing from growing 
mash to laying mash at the proper 
time is important. The proper time 
to change to laying mash is when 

7 



your egg production has reached 
20-25 percent. 

Sixty-five percent of the total 
weight of eggs is water, therefore 
keep plenty of fresh, cool water 
before the birds at all times. If 
birds are slow to come into pro- 
duction, use lights to stimulate 
feed consumption. Keep a close 
watch on pullets, and Teed to main- 
tain body weight.

Adequate Service Depends 
on Adequate Earnings 



The amount of money paid out 
to provide telephone service is 
increasing faster than the 
amount taken in. 



SID Telephone earnings are the 
i— * lowest in history. 

/rQi Reasonable telephone earnings 
\w> are essential to good telephone 
service. 

Your Telephone Company is doing the largest 
volume of business in its history, yet tele- 
phone earnings continue to decline. The 
reason is perfectly clear. While your tele- 
phone rate has remained the same for many 
years, the costs of furnishing you service have 
increased. Wages, telephone materials, build- 
ing costs, services; all have been going up 
so fast that — 

the amount of money Paid Oat to pro- 
vide service is increasing faster than 
the amount Taken In. Actually tele- 
phone earnings today are the lowest in 
our history. 

if 

It is basic with any business that good 
eervice depends on reasonable earnings. To 
provide good telephone service and to con- 
tinually improve and expand it, reasonable 
earnings are essential. 

Our public duty demands that we give you 
these facts.

much more palatable than the 
Southern bur, yet not quite as 
palatable as crimson clover. It has 
also been found that when a good 
stand is obtained and allowed to 
mature seed, then turned under that 
it will volunteer for the next 4 or 
5 years. 

Farmers in Shelby County who 
have planted a seed patch this year 
are: J. A. Tucker and B. B. Moon- 
ey of Columbiana, A. B. Bristow of 
Shelby, G. H. Eastis of Wilsonville, 
Clarence Lucas, Frank Baker, R. 
F. Hardy and Parker Hamric of 
Miontevallo. 

If we find Manganese clover 
will volunteer for 4 years after 
turning under a seed crop; that it 
is as good for cover crop as vetch, 
peas or crimson clover ; that cows 
will graze it as w«U as crimson 
clover, then it will mean we can 
have all of our land in green cover 
during the winter that we can 
graze. Turn a cover crop for our 
corn and other crop in the spring 
and allow J4 of it to go to seed. 
Sounds too good, but we are try- 
ing it to find out.

Payments Provided For Families Of Service 
Men Who Die Of Non-Service Causes 



The Social Security Act Amend- 
ment of 1946 makes provision for 
payments to the families of men 
"who die — within three years of the 
date of discharge — from causes not 
connected with their military ser- 
vice. This law is to extend for four 
years after the date that Congress 
or the President officially declares 
the war ended. Survivors ara eligi- 
ble regardless of whether the veter- 
an had ever worked in employment 
covered by the Social Security Act. 
They are not eligible if the service- 
man or servicewoman died in serv- 
ice, or if any survivor is receiving 
a pension from the Veterans Ad- 
ministration as a result of the 
death. 

In order for the survivors to be 
eligible for Social Security Bene- 
fits under this law, the following 
conditions must be met: 

1. The veteran must have been 
discharged or released from active 
service, under circumstances other 
than dishonorable, within four 
years and a day after the as yet 
officially unproclaimed end of 
World War II. 

2. The, veteran must have served 
in the active military or naval 
forces of the United States between 
September 16, 1940, and the 1 official 
end of the war, and must have serv- 
ed 90 days or more; or must have 
been discharged or released be- 
cause of disability or injury incur- 
red or aggravated in service in 
line of duty. 

3. The veteran must have died 
-within 3 years of the date of his 
discharge or release from active 



service. 

4. Payments under this law are 
not due if any survivor is qualified 
to receive compensation or pensions 
from the Veterans Administration. 
National Service Life Insurance is 
not considered as compensation or 
pension. 

The same classes of survivors are 
eligible for monthly or lump-sum 
payments under this law as under 
other provisions of the old-age and 
survivors insurance plan. This in- 
cludes dependent children under 18 
and the widow; Adult children 
may receive a lump-sum if there 
is no widow or minor child ; par- 
ents are eligible if the veteran was 
single. If no such relatives survive, 
payments may be made, under cer- 
tain conditions, to persons who pay 
burial expenses. 

If the above requirements are 
met the nearest relatives should 
contact the Social Security Admin- 
istration IMMEDIATELY. This 
should, be done now by families of 
veterans who have died after dis- 
charge — whether or not thev have 
contacted the Social Security of- 
fice before. 

Contact your Social Security Ad- 
ministration office for further in- 
formation or for information or 
help in connection with any of 
your Social Security problems. 
Their office is located at 1825 
First Avenue North. Chamber of 
Commerce Building, ground floor — 
every employee there will be ready 
willing and anxious to help you in 
any way they can. Visit their of- 
fice. Their telephone number is

Dr. Harman Reported 
Ready To Resign 

Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 29 — The 
Montgomery Advertiser said today 
it has learned from a "reliable 
source" that Dr. A. F. Harman, 
president of Alabama College, will 
resign in the near future. 

Both Dr. Harman and Gov. 
Chauncey Sparks declined to com- 
ment on the report following a 
meeting of the school's board of 
trustees. , 

The 71-year-old former state 
school superintendent has served as 
president of Alabama College since 
1936 when he was named to succeed 
Dr. O. C. Carmichael. 

The Advertister said the reason 
given for Dr. Harman's resigna- 
tion was "advancing years."

L. Knowles, Rt. 1, Montevallo, Ala.

nouncement made by General

Headquarters.

Jay, Governors Island, New York 
City, where he is assigned duties in 
the Headquarters Company of the 
First Army Headquarters. Private 
First Class Knowles received his 
basic Army training at Camp 
Blanding, Florida, and later re- 
ported to the Virginia Polytechnic 
Instiute at Blackburn. Va., where 
he earned an ASFTP degree in

State of Alabama, Shelby County, 
in the Circuit Court of Shelby 
County, Alabama. July term, 1946. 
To the Honorable W. W. Wallace, 
Judge : 

We, the Grand Jury, duly em- 
paneled by Your Honor for the 
July Term 1946 of the Circuit Court 
in and for Shelby County, Ala- 
bama, beg leave herewith to sub- 
mit our report. 

We have investigated eighty-six 
cases, and herewith return into 
open Court sixty indictments, fifty- 
eight of which are for felonies and 
two for misdemeanors. 

We have endeavored to faithfully 
and attentively go into the matters 
coming to our attention, keeping 
in mind the instructions given to 
us by Your Honor in the beginning 
of our work. 

From the above it will be observ- 
ed that we have investigated very 
few misdemeanors due to the fact 
that this class of crime is handled 
in a very satisfactory way in the 
County Court, where it can be so 
done more quickly and with less 
cost in time and expense to all in- 
terested parties. We desire to ex- 
press our appreciation to the Pro- 
bate Judge and officers of this 
Court for the way and manner in 
which they so judicially handle this 
type of cases. 

Our investigation, as shown by 
the foregoing statements, is very 
conclusive that our Law Enforce- 
ment officers have been doing 
splendid work in the discharge of 
their duties for law and order in 
our good County. We appreciate 
their efforts, and desire to express 
our appreciation to the Sheriff and 
his Deputies, as well as to the of- 
ficers of the ABC Board, and the 
Federal Officers for cooperating 
with the Sheriff and the good ser 
vices rendered by them in our 
County. 

We have, by committees, invest! 



gated the Courthouse and grounds, 
the jail, and the books and records 
of the various County officials. We 
find our jail to be well kept and 
the inmates thereof speak favor- 
ably concerning their custodian and 
those in whose charge they are. 
The books and records of the 
County officers are neat and well 
kept and all are under good and 
ufficient bond as required by law. 
We have - a good Courthouse and 
apparently it is well kept, but some 
complaint has come to us with re- 
ference to its appearance and in- 
side condition from time to time. It 
would appear that this criticism is 
not due to the failure of the dis- 
charge of duties by the Janitor, 
but rather due to the fact that it 
requires more time and work to 
properly keep it than one person 
can give it. We are calling this to 
the attention of the proper authori- 
ties with the idea in view that in 
some way they might be able to al- 
leviate this situation. It has occur- 
red to us that it might be helped 
to some extent by keeping the 
outer doors to the Courthouse lock- 
ed during the night hours, in which 
event the Night Watchman of the 
town might be furnished with a 
key whereby access could be had 
to it. We desire to recommend 
to the proper authorities that at 
least two drinking founts be in- 
stalled in the Courthouse whereby 
one can be exclusively for the 
whites and one for the colored. 

We desire to express our thanks 
to the High Bailiff, Mr. Frank Mil 
ler, for the faithful performance 
of his duties and for answering our 
every demand so promptly. 

We also wish to express to our 
Judge our heartfelt thanks for the 
very able and lucid charge which 
he gave us in the beginning of our 
labors. 

And now, having finished our 
duties, we desire to be discharged 
subject to the call of Your Honor. 



The Health Officer 
Answers Questions 

Many telephone inquires and 
questions in other forms daily reach 
the local health department about 
the blood testing program to find 
syphilis. This work, health authori- 
ties announced, will begin on Nov- 
ember 12, 1946, and continue until 
November 22, 1946. 
" The questions most frequently 
asked usually take this form," said 
Dr. Sloan, "will everybody know the 
result of my blood test?" Force- 
fully, the Health Officer replied, 
"Let it be emphasized here and now 
that no person will know the result 
of any blood test except his own. 
All results will be confidential. The 
matter will be treated in the same 
way is if the test were done by a 
private physician in his own of- 
fice." 

Other questions quite often asked 
and the answers given are the fol- 
lowing : 

'Who must take the blood test?" 
All persons between the ages of 
fourteen and fifty, inclusive, who 
live in Alabama must take the 
test. This means male and female, 
white and colored — everybody. 

'Where must one go to get this 
test?" A schedule of clinic stations 
will be published giving the date, 
hour, and place. People should go 
to their nearest station. For con- 
venience and speed, in most in- 
stances, separate clinic stations will 
be operated for white and colored 
citizens. Military personnel in the 
state are not required to have this 
test. 

'Is the blood test dangerous?" 
Absolutely not. 

"Is the blood test painful?" It 
causes about the same amount of 
pains as an ordinary moisquito bite. 

"Must school children take this 
test?" Yes, those fourteen and 
above are required to have the test. 

"Suppose a person is sick, what 
then?" A private physician will ad- 
vise all who are unable to attend 
a clinic because of illness. 

"What is expected if a person 
lives in Shelby County, but works 
outside the county?" Stations have 
been set up throughout the county

Montevallo Wins 
From Columbiana 

The Montevallo High School 
football team won its third victory 
Friday night by defeating Colum- 
biana High seven to nothing. 

Montevallo scored early in the 
first quarter, after Johnie Lovelady 
recovered a fumble on the Colum- 
biana thirty-five. Homer Williams 
made the score on a 25 yard run, 
and Tommy Baker kicked the 
extra point. 

Columbiana threatened to score 
once during the game when a pass 
from Rasco to Deal connected for 
forty yards moving the scrimmage 
line from the Montevallo forty five 
yard line to the five. Columbiana 
failed to move the ball any further 
in four downs and the ball went 
over to Montevallo on their own 
five yard line. 

Montevallo made ten first downs 
to Columbiana's four. Montevallo 
completed ten out of twenty at- 
tempted passes for a total gain of 
135 yards. Columbiana completed 
two passes out of nine attempted 
for a total gain of 49 yards. Both 
teams averaged forty yards on 
punting. 

Outstanding in the backfield for 
Montevallo were Baker, Williams 
and Woolley.

Kind of State Government 
Handed Down by Our Fathers 

An appeal to Alabama voters to

A MESSAGE OF INT 



to all who await deliveries 
of new Chevrolets 



We want you to know that everything possible is being done to 
speed deliveries to you; but production still lags far behind schedule 
— even though Chevrolet has built more cars and trucks than 
any other manufacturer from January through September 1946 



WE REALIZE how eagerly you are 
awaiting delivery of the new Chevrolet 
you have ordered from us, and we want to 
pass on to you the latest information received 
from the Chevrolet Motor Division, even 
though that information isn't too encouraging 
at this time. 

It is true that Chevrolet leads all other 
manufacturers in total production of 
passenger cars and trucks from January 
through September 1946, despite the fact 
that Chevrolet was out of production entirely 
during the first three months of this year. It 
is also true that Chevrolet has continued to 
maintain its lead in total production during 
the third quarter of 1946. And yet production 
is still running far below desired levels, with 
the result that Chevrolet's output of cars and 
trucks through September 1946 was only 
38.7% of the number produced during the 
corresponding period of 1941. 

This means it may take many months for 
the Chevrolet Motor Division to reach peak 



production of new Chevrolets— even longer to 
fill the unprecedented demand for this product 
of BIG-CAR QUALITY AT LOWEST COST 
— and, for the present at least, "there just 
aren't enough Chevrolets to go around," much 
as we wish there were. 

However, we want you to know that new 
Chevrolets are leaving the plants in the largest 
numbers possible today. The Chevrolet Motor 
Division tells us it is doing everything it can, 
in the face of continued suppliers' striken 
material shortages and manpower problems, to 
step up shipments to us and to all dealers, in 
accordance with a predetermined distribution 
plan assuring each dealer of his fair allotment, 
based on 1941 passenger car sales. And we, in 
turn, are doing our best to deliver new Chev- 
rolets to our customers as rapidly as they are 
received and in the fairest possible way. We 
are too appreciative of your loyalty and good- 
will — too grateful for your patience and under- 
standing — to do anything less than continue 
to serve you to the very best of our ability. 



Project Work 

Nell Mooney, Siluria Sr. 4-H 
club, had clothing and Food pre- 
paration for her projects this year. 
Nell says that she has made 2 
dresses, made over 3 garments, and 
a number of skirts. 

In food preparation, she has pre- 



pared 66 meals for her family of 
eleven. Nell also helps with prepar- 
ing lunches for members of the 
family. 

Nell has been a 4-H member for 
5 years. She served as president of 
her club in 1942-43. 




KEEP YOUR PRESENT CAR RUNNING 

Meanwhile, the most important car of all to you is the car 
you are driving now. May we suggest that you keep it in top run- 
ning condition until you secure delivery of your new Chevrolet, by 
bringing it to us for skilled service now and at regular intervals. 
Remember — cold weather is hardest on old cars. Please see us 
for a complete check-up today. . . . And, again, thank you!

College Y. W. A. 
Holds Annual Tea 

The College Young Women's 
Auxiliary held its annual tea for 
"adopted relatives" on Saturday 
afternoon at the home of Mrs. R. 
A. Reid, counselor. 

Guests were received by Mrs. 
Reid, Miss Jane Stith, Y. W. A. 
president, and Miss Annie Boyd 
Parker, student secretary. The lace 
covered tea table was appointed in 
silver and centered with an ar- 
rangement of stoile de holland 
roses, white mums and burning 
tapers. Miss Mayo Baker, Baptist 
Student Union president, poured 
tea. 

Those assisting with the serving 
were : Misses Nancy Gordon, Fran- 
ces Jernigan, Virginia Mathis, 
Louise Grant, Henrietta Kornegay, 
Hazel Killingsworth, B'etty Jenkins, 
Joyce Baker, Lucile Hawkins, 
Zuline C a p p s, Gwendolyn Dis- 
Meekes, Willie Dell Metcalf, Ava- 
line Pattern, Frances Yates. 

Approximately 180 guests called 
between the hours of three and 
six. 

In charge of general preparation 
for the tea were : Misses Mary 
Louise Alexander, Louise Pate, 
Eugenia Ellis, Howard Nell Smith, 
and Margaret O'Gwynn. 

This tea was the climax of two 
weeks activities participated in by 
the college Y. W. A. and members 
of the local Baptist Church. Hav- 
ing originated years ago as strict- 
ly a "Mother-Daughter" activity 
enjoyed by the Y. W. A. and wo- 
man's Missionary Society, it has 
been eagerly anticipated yearly by 
both groups and has become so 
popular that now the men and 
younger church members take part. 
For that reason the term "adopted 
relative" has become more fiescrlp- 
tive. The name of a local "relative" 
is drawn by each Y. W. A. mem- 
ber wishing to participate. For 
about three weeks they become 
acquainted with each other by 
writing letters and exchanging gifts 
but "relatives" do not know the 
identity of the girls who have adopt- 
ed them until the tea. In this 
way the college student becomes 
a friend of a local church member. 

College Budget Is 
Approved By Board 

Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 29— Trus- 
tees of Alabama Colilege received 
the school's annual financial state- 
ment today and approved an 
$825,000 budget for the 1946-47 
school year. 

In the report by Dr. A. F. Har- 
man, president, it was disclosed 
that the college as of September 30 
had total assets of $3,403,000; and a 
net debt of less than $22,000. 

President Harman explained that 
a $130,000 allocation authorized by 
Gov. Sparks recently was respon- 
sible for cutting the debt down to 
its present size. The institution 
started the year with a $167,000 
debt. 

With the special allocation and 
a sinking fund set up to retire an- 
other $16,000 of it, the total was 
cut to approximately $22,000. 

Dr. Napier Honored 
By College Alumnae 

One of the highlights of the Fif- 
tieth Anniversary was the dedica- 
tion of a Browsing Nook to Dean 
Napier by the Alabama College 
Alumnae Association. The Nook, 
placed in a portion of the west end 
of the reading room of the library, 
contains books about Southern life 
and literature. Now books will be 
added by the Association each year. 
A couch, two chairs, a rug, and 
two reading lamps will soon be add- 
ed; and a bronze placque will bear 
the name of the Nook. Students 
are encouraged to use the Nook 
whenever they choose.

Senior Class To 
Present Comedy 

On Friday night, November 8, 
the Senior class will present a light 1 
comedy, "Suds in Your Eyes". The 
committee chose this entertaining 
farce because they thought the 



students would especially enjoy the 
lightness of such a play after the 
seriousness of the Fiftieth Anniver- 
sary. 

i The scene is laid in a junk yard 
owned by Mrs. Feelay, played by 
Addie Lou Parris, who thinks that 
her junk yard is the most impor- 
tant thing in the world.

{ARM AND HOME 



(A. A. Lauderdale, County Agent; Marian Cotney, Home Demonstration 
Agent; E. H. Wilson, Assistant County Agent; Alma Robinson, Assistant 
Home Demonstration Agent.) 



Announcing Program of Work 

The planning committee made up 
of Mrs. H. A. Pauly, Ebenezer, 
Mrs. Ruth Cahoon, Elliottsville, 
and Mrs. Denson, New Hope, met 
at the New Hope school October 
8 to plan the demonstrations to be 
used in the home demonstrations 
clubs in 1947. 

The committee worked with the 
suggested demonstrations from the 
standpoint of the needs of the rural 
families in the county. The follow- 
ing demonstrations were selected: 

January, Gardening; February, 
Use of Home Canned Meats ; 
March, Tricks in Sewing; April, 
Fabric Gloves ; May, True and 
False in Food Preservation; June, 
Your appearance ; July, Lighting 
August, Recreation ; September, 
Control of Household Pest; Oct- 
ober, Refinishing Furniture; Nov- 
ember, E's of Cooking; December, 
Teen Agers Still Need Parents. 



Re- Upholstering Furniture 

The Home demonstration club 
members have proven their ability 
as carpenters this month. After 
working with the ladies in all day 
meetings and seeing them hit the 
nail on the head, it is an accepted 
fact that some of our Shelby Coun- 
ty home demonstration members 
are real carpenters. These ladies 
have taken part in the demonstra- 
tion on re-upholstering Furniture 
which included a lesson in how to 
stretch and tack webbing, sewing 
the springs to webbing, boxing 
springs and stuffing them for 
separate cushions, how to tie loose 
springs, and re-upholstering a chair. 
In many cases, the ladies have 



made use of springs from discard- 
ed car cushions to convert a broken 
down chair with out springs into 
an attractive and comfortable chair. 

A full day was provided for each 
person attending these meetings 
which was climaxed with the de- 
licious meals served at the noon 
hour. 



4-H Members Purchase Beef Calves 

Seven 4-H Club Members pur 
chased eight Hereford steers this 
week. These steers will be fed out 
and entered in the Beef Cattle Show 
next spring. This makes a total of 
16 beef calves that 4-H clubbers 
have purchased this year. 

4-H'ers receiving calves were 
Clarence and Billy Lucas, Monte- 
vallo ; Betty Joe and Charles Know- 
les, Montevallo ; Billy Cunningham 
Montevallo ; Stanley and Phillip 
Lacey, Maylene. 



Mrs. R. H. Russell 
Gives Banquet 

Mrs. R. H. Russell gave a ban- 
quet at the Town House, Wednes- 
day night on behalf of the Emer- 
gency A i d Insurance Company 
which she represents in Montevallo. 

Attendance was made up of 
agents and officials of the company 
in the central section of Alabama, 
including Mr. Taylor of Clauton ; 
Mr. Jim Panish, of Clanton and 
Judge L. B. Riddle of Columbiana. 
A number of local friends in Mon- 
tevallo were included in the cour- 
tesy extended by Mrs. Russell and 
her company. 

This local territory has been re- 
cently included in the field of the 
Emergency Aid Insurance Com- 
pany. The officials reveal that an 
intensive campaign is planned for 
the general sale of the company's 
business in this section. 

This is strictly an Alabama In- 
surance Company with its home 
office at Elba, Alabama. It is 
headed by Judge W. M. Brunson.

L. C. Walker Sends Message to the People 
of Shelby County 

My Dear Friends: 

As the General Election on November 5, 1946, draws near, 
at which time you will declare by your ballot, your choice for 
various officials in the County and State, I want to express to 
each of you, my sincere appreciation for your kind considera- 
tion of myxandidacy for the office of Probate Judge of Shelby 
County. I also want to thank you for the assurance of your per- 
sonal interest and continued support. 

As Probate Judge nominate, I pledge you a continuance of 
my record of service to the people of Shelby County. If elected 
to continue my official obligations in this highly responsible 
position, I shall, at all times, do my best to give to the people 
of Shelby County, accurate, prompt and efficient attention to 
■the many duties this official post carries. 

I deeply regret it has been impossible for me to personally 
contact each individual, but it is now the busiest season of the) 
year. Licenses are due; automobile tags are being sold; and the 
Fall term of the Circuit Court is in session, making it almost 
imperative that I remain in my office most of the time. How 
ever, I am not unmindful of the many kind and thoughtful! 
messages received, and I want to acknowledge my gratitude? 
for your letters and for your personal calls in my office be 
speaking continued approval of my record and promising me 
your support of my candidacy in the coming election. For these 
assurances and expressions of confidence, I shall always be 
grateful. 

Wishing you continued success and happiness, I beg to re 
main,

Hats off, my countrymen, to your 
newspaper boy. Once a year, we 
set aside Newspaper Boy Day to 
honor his thrift and enterprise. On 
Newspaper Boy Day in 1943 the 
late President, Franklin D. Roose- 
velt, paid him tribute for his in- 
spiring work of selling nearly two 
billion ten cent war stamps. Today 
he rates a salute for setting an ex- 
ample in training for success. He 
is now enrolling in Treasury De- 
partment Newspaper Boy Thrift 
Clubs by which he invests his earn- 
ings in V. 8. savings stamps and 
bonds, which will pay him $4 for 
every $3 ten years hence.

preparation. 

Sericea and annual lespedeza 
seed should be combined at once. 
There will be a big demand for 
these seed next spring. A good crop 
of seed will be a good money crop. 

The best cotton seed on the farm 
should be saved for planting. Good 
cotton planting seed promises to 
be scarce next spring. 

Plan now to plant Alfalfa in fall 
of 1947 by planting the land in 
vetch to turn next spring, then 
keep land out until September to 
destroy weeds and grass. The seed 
should be bought now so you will 
be sure of planting seed next fall.

convenient to all homes. If anyone 
works outside the county he should 
arrange to report to his most con- 
venient station. 

"What about people who live 
outside of Columbiana?" Clinic sta- 
tions will be set up all over Shelby 
County. An effort will be made to 
arrange the clinic stations so that 
no person wil be required to travel 
more than a short distance. 

The local Health Department re- 
quests that citizens watch for an- 
nouncements on posters, informa- 
tion in press, and for advertise- 
ments giving the date, hour, and 
place for clinic stations. 

This survey is given by the Shel- 
by County Health Department co- 
operating with the State Health 
Department carrying out the pro- 
visions of the Henderson Bill pass- 
ed by the Legislature of the State 
of Alabama requiring all residents 
between the ages of 14 and SO to 
get a blood test for syphilis. 

Several clerks and nurses will be 
needed during this program. Any- 
one interested in helping with this 
should apply at the Shelby County 
Health Department or the U. S. 
Employment office in Calera, Ala.

Shelby Motor Co. Displays New Kaiser 
Special Built At Famous Willow Run Plant 



New, advanced body lines, un- 
precedented seating width and in- 
creased visibility are features of 
the new 1947 Kaiser Special auto- 
mobile now on public display here 
for the first time. 

Careful attention to the factors 
which provide passenger safety and 
comfort has been given in design- 
ing the automobile, a product of 
Kaiser-Frazer Corp. The new 100- 
horsepower car is a full-size, six- 
passenger automobile with a wheel 
base of 123^4 incres. 

A major achievement in passen- 
ger comfort has been gained in the 
new automobile by location of the 
rear seat well forward of the rear 
axle and wheel housings, so that 
all passengers are seated in the 
best riding positions. T h e ad- 
vanced location of the rear seat 
provides greater space in the rear 
luggage compartment, and has 
made possible unsurpassed width of 
seat cushions, 62 inches both front 
and rear. 

Increased visibility has been pro- 
vided by moving the front pillar- 
posts back, increasing the angle of 
765-square-inch windshield, and 
providing greater side vision for the 
driver. Exceptional rear vision is 
provided, too, by the 44-inch wide 
rear window. 

Mechanical features include an 
all-steel body with safety glass 
throughout, and a rigid box-type 
frame, large self-centering brakes 
and extra wide wheel rims which 
provide steering safety and stability 



on turns at high speeds. 

Longer-stroked shock absorbers 
have been incorporated into the 
chassis design for riding comfort 
and to enable the driver to main- 
tain perfect control. Independent 
front wheel suspension is effected 
through helical springs, while semi- 
elliptic springs, rubber mounted 
with rubber inserts between the 
leaves, are used in the rear. 

Exterior door handles are of a 
new type which operate by gentle 
pressure on a "trigger" concealed 
in the inside curve of each handle. 
The handles are designed so that 
there are no open ends to catch in 
clothing. 

Interior appointments are featur- 
ed by push-button door latches, an 
attractively designed instrument 
panel and deep cushion seats. 

With an overall length of 203 
inches, the Kaiser Special has a sil- 
houette of only 64^4 inches and is 
72Ji inches wide at its widest point. 
The front .and rear treads are 58 
and 60 inches, respectively, and the 
tire size, 15x6.50. 

The engine, developed by Contin- 
ental Motors in cooperation with 
Kaiser-Frazer engineers, is of L- 
head design and has a bore of 
3 5-16 inches and stroke of 4J^ 
inches. Ideal for today's improved 
gasolines, the compression ratio is 
7.3:1. Other power features include 
aluminum alloy pistons, a forged 
counterweighted crankshaft with 
four main bearings, rubber engine 
mountings and automatic choke. 




MISS MARIAN HUGHES 

Graduate Of Alabama College To Present 
Second Number On Concert-Lecture Series 



Marian Hughes, lovely titian- 
haired, Gadsden-born lyric soprano, 
who has come to be known as the 
"Alabama Thrush", will be featur- 
ed here on November 11 as the 
second artist of the 1946-47 con- 
cert lecture series. 

It was at Alabama College that 
Miss Hughes had the musical 
foundation that started her on the 
way to a very bright future. Par- 
ticipation in the College Glee Club 
revealed the promise of her voice, 
and brought her the vote of "Col- 
lege Musician," and election to 
'Who's Who in American Colleges 
and Universities." Her four years 
of voice study at college with Miss 
Honor Winer, she says, proved to 
be the real secret of her progress, 
for she found she had the right 
foundation for her subsequent stu- 
dies with Sylvan Levin in Phila- 
delphia, and with Jean Faure, Gra- 
ham Reed, and Clytie Mundy in 
New York. . 

Alabama College provided a well- 
rounded background for this ex- 
tremely versatile and practical 
young woman. Not only is she at 
home in the various types of sing- 
ing — classical, sacred, art songs, 
popular, opera, and operetta — but 
as a result of her piano major for 
three years with Mr. M. Ziolkow- 
ski, she also is able to accompany 
herself for her practising, a great 
boon to a young artist. 

Evidently the "model king," John 
Robert Powers, agreed with her 
Alma Mater in voting Marian 
Hughes a "College Beauty," for it 
was as a Powers model in New 
York that she earned her first 
money toward furthering her musi- 
cal studies. 

In the meantime, this young 
artist has shown her versatility by 
appearing as church soloist; giving 
concerts and recital's ; being heard 
over a score of radio' stations and 
networks throughout the country, 
and currently heard Sunday morn- 
ing on WHN in New York; fulfill- 
ing singing engagements in the 
New York, New Jersey, and New 
England areas, Miami Beach, and 
Montreal, Canada ; appearing in, 



operettas in the Papermill Play 
House in Millburn, New Jersey 
and in the St. Louis Municipal 
Opera, and in the Broadway musi- 
cal, "GJad to See You"; and going 
to Hawaii and the Marianas as 
soprano soloist and emcee for a 
USO classical concert group. She 
was also speaker as well as singer 
on a Midwest tour sponsored by the 
National War Fund. In the Spring 
of 1946 she substituted on 48-hours' 
i-.otice for the soprano lead with 
Sigmund Romberg's 56-piece orch- 
estra, taking "A Night with Rom- 
berg" on tour. 

Gadsden is still "home" to Marian 
Hughes, where her father is a 
prominent physician. Her courses 
in home economics at Alabama 
College are not forgotten, as she 
loves to help her mother with inter- 
ior decorating. She has a practical 
bent, for she loves to sew and de- 
signs and makes her own recital 
gowns — a hobby she finds difficult 
these days to fit into the crowded 
hours of a very promising career.

Sandy's Rooster 
Was Surprised 




When "isanuy" M. Sanderson answered his 
telephone one chilly and rainy morning, he 
learned that electric service was "out" on one 
of the lines in the territory where he serves as 
troubleman. 

He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, dressed, 
cr-nked his trouble truck and started out. He 
located the trouble about 16 miles from his home. 
After making the necessary repairs to the line, 
he chatted a few minutes with the farmer who 
had come from a nearby house. As Sandy started 
to get into the cab of his truck, the farmer asked : 
"What's that on vour bumoer. Ssnrt"?" 

"Nothing," said Sandy, but stepped to the 
front of the truck to have a look. Perched on 
the bumper was Sandy's pet rooster — not in a 
very good frame of mind after that 16-mile sur- 
prise ride in the rain and cold. The rooster rode 
back home in the cab of the truck with Sandy. 

That trip was an unusual one for a rooster 
but not unusual for Sandy and the other trouble- 
men who help keep electric lines in good oper- 
ating condition — at all times of the day and 
night, and in all kinds of weather.

Farm And Home 
News 

Much enthusiasm has been arous- 
ed in the ' Home Demonstration 
Clubs by the demonstration on 
stencilling. This demonstration will 
be given in all the clubs during 
November. 

The ladies are getting ideas for 
Christmas gifts as well as many 
things to be used around their 
homes. They make such remarks 
as "if it is a luncheon cloth and 
napkins, pillow cases, place mats, 
new kitchen curtains and many 
other articles that you want to 
make, stencilling is the answer." 

Stencilling is very easy and 
simple. It is simply painting ma- 
terial through a cut out pattern 



using textile paints and small' 
brushes. . The paint is allowed to 
dry 12-24 hours and then set with 
a not iron.

How Do Telephone 
Earnings 
Affect Your Business? 




As telephone service has grown so has your business. 
Today there are twice as many telephones as there were 
20 years ago — five times as many as there were 30 years 
ago. More telephones have enabled you to reach more 
customers, and give better service, to the benefit o£ 
your own business. Consequently, the improvement and 
expansion of telephone service are vital to the future 
growth of your business. . 

To render good service and expand it, any company 
must have reasonable earnings. That is basic and funda- 
mental. Telephone earnings today are not only the 
lowest in history but are dangerously low despite a 
record volume of business. This is because telephone 
expenses are increasing faster than revenues. The cost 
of furnishing service has increased tremendously, while 
telephone rates generally are lower than many years ago. 

This condition is important to you because the 
quality and quantity of telephone service directly affect 
the progress and growth of your business. 



The amount of money paid out to provide 
telephone service is increasing faster than the 
amount taken in. 

(2) — Telephone earnings are the lowest in history. 

(3) — Reasonable telephone earnings are essential 
to good telephone service.

Bishop Carpenter 
To Attend Service 

The Rt. Reverend C. C. J. Car- 
penter, Bishop of the Diocese of 
Alabama of the Episcopal Church 
will visit Montevallo on Sunday, 
November 17, for the service of 
confirmation which will be held at

D. Pendleton, Jr., are to be con- 
firmed. All members of the Epi- 
scopal Church, and friends from

and it is hoped that many will come 
as Bishop Carpenter, who preach- 
ed the Commencement sermon at 
the college last May, is well known 
and well liked in this community. 

Following the service the Wo- 
man's Auxiliary of St. Andrew's 
Mission will be hosts to the regular 
communicants of the church, and 
the Episcopal students at the col- 
lege, at a supper given in honor

Community Chest Solicitation Campaign For 
1946-47 Will Begin Monday, November 18 

F. P. Givhan Is Named Chairman Of Solicitation Committee 
To Raise $1,600 Budget For Next Year's Operations 



THE NEW BUDGET 

Girl Scouts 8 % 

Rotary Club boys' program 16 % 

Negro School IS % 

($225 from previous years, plus $150 this year) 
Elementary school music and High School 

Band 7.2% 

Mothers Council of elementary school 1.6% 

High School physical education 3 % 

Town recreation program 22 % 

Welfare 24 % 

Operation of Chest 3.2% 

Total — - --100% 

OLD NEEDS-NEW PLANS 

The budget adopted by the Chest Board for next 
year totals $2,500. This sum will provide essential 
support for all the agencies regularly included in the 
budget before the war and inaugurate a new plan 
for summer recreation. The need for this summer 
program was recognized more than a year ago when 
a town recreation committee was designated at a 
general town meeting. The Chest Board has allocat- 
ed to this purpose $550 with the expectation that 
the committee will study the problem of summer 
recreation and make a beginning during the summer 
of 1947, toward developing a permanent program. 

THE CHEST CAMPAIGN 

In the Community Chest campaign to begin Nov- 
ember 18 Montevallo will be asked for at least 
$1,600. To make up the total budget of $2,500 the 
Board has in the bank over $900 that has been ac- 
cumulated in recent years by oversubscriptions and 
careful economy. An additional $360 is on hand to 
meet an obligation made last year to provide that 
amount to complete the fund necessary for furnish- 
ing good lighting in the elementary school building. 

HOW MUCH SHOULD I GIVE? 

In nearly every case the allotment in the budget is 
less than was asked. The Board could use to good 
advantage five or six hundred dollars more than 
the minimum of $1,600 asked for. You are urged, 
therefore, to subscribe as generously as you have 
done in other years. 



NEGRO PARTICIPATION 

A plan has been approved whereby Negroes of 
this community will contribute to and receive from 
our chest operations in the same manner as last year. 
By this plan the Negroes will conduct a solicitation 
campaign for funds. They will give to the Com- 
munity Chest 25% of the funds they raise; the 
balance they may spend for such causes as they 
choose. Out of the total chest budget they will 
receive 15%. 

HOW WILL EACH DOLLAR BE USED? 

3.2 Cents for Operation. — Larger towns and cities 
find that eight to ten cents of every dollar must be 
reserved for printing, postage and other operating 
expenses of the chest. The average expense for the 
Montevallo Chest has been less than 3 per cent. 

24 Cents for Welfare.— Through prescriptions and 
other medical supplies requested by Montevallo 
physicians and dentists, specially for school children ; 
through winter clothing for children ; through emer- 
gency relief for other human distress not provided 
for by other agencies. 

26.8 Cents for Special School Needs. — Through 
heating, playground and office equipment tor the 
Negro school (15%). ($225 unexpended from allot- 
ments of previous years held back because materials 
desired were unavailable, plus $150 allotted from the 
1946-47 budget) ; through instruments for Montevallo 
High School Band, the Elementary School Orchestra 
(7.2%) ; through equipment for the high school dress- 
ing rooms for boys and girls (3%); through better 
teaching conditions for the elementary school (1.6%). 
(To this will be added, when needed, $360 for light- 
ing the Elementary School building, which amount 
was set aside last year.) 

46 Cents for Character Building. — Through main- 
tenance of the Girl Scout Little House and the scout 
program for over one hundred girls (8%); through 
supporting the Rotary Club boys' program sponsored 
by the Rotary Club (16%) ; through providing equip- 
ment and supervision for a town recreation program 
for boys and girls and adults (22%). 



Citizens Thanked For 
Part Ir Pageant 

This is a belated, tho none-the- 
less genuine expression of gratitude 
to the numerous citizens of Mon- 
tevallo who so generously co- 
operated in the production of the 
Historical Pageant of the College. 

I feel that the working together 
of college and community groups 
lias made us all realize .what is pos- 
sible when we unite for a common 
cause. — -Sincerely yours, Walter H. 
Trumbauer, Director of the Page- 
ant.

worth was elected treasurer. It was 
decided by the board that we would 
combine the Community and War 
Chest into one drive as had been 
done in the past. Mr. L. W. Woot- 
en, chairman of the Shelby County 
War Chest for this area explained 
that the current plans with respect 
to the War Chest was that this 
would be the last War Chest drive 
and that these funds would be used 
over a period of two years. Monte- 
vallo's quota was $1,300.00. 

On October 9, 1945 the board 
met for the purpose of hearing re- 
quests from the participating agen- 
cies for funds. After hearing from 
representatives for various agencies 
a budget of $2,525.00 was decided 
upon, $1,300.00 for local needs as 
following :

man. The campaign closed some 
time the first of November with 
cash and pledges for $2,516.73, the

Willie Mae Cowden 
Is New Director 
Of Public Welfare 

The election of Miss Willie Mae 
Cowden of Mentone to the post of 
Dinector of Public Welfare in Shel- 
by County was confirmed Friday 
afternoon November 8, at a meet- 
ing of the Shelby County Public 
Welfare Board. This announcement 
was made by W. L. Brown of 
Montevallo. Board Chairman, who 
presided at the meeting. 

Miss Cowden carries to Shelby 
County well qualified for her new 
position. She attended Peabody 
College and Alabama Polytechnic 
Institute and received graduate 
training in social work at the Uni- 
versity of Alabama and the Tulane 
School of Social Work. She has 
served with the Cullman County 
Department of Public Welfare as 
child welfare worker and with the 
Dekalb County Department as 
caseworker. During the past sever- 
al years she has been associated 
with the Southeast area office of 
the American Red Cross in Atlanta, 
serving as social worker and assist- 
ant field director. She has already 
assumed her duties here. Miss Win- 
nie Mae Toomer of Montgomery, 
State Welfare Department Field 
Representatives, was present at the 



meeting and introduced Miss Cow- 
den to the board. 

Further action of the board at 
this meeting included final approval 
of the preliminary 1946-47 budget 
for the Department. This budget 
was tentatively approved in August. 
The amount included totals $165,- 
181.76, of which $94,799.02 is Feder- 
al funds, $34,988.88 State funds, and 
$35,393.86 local funds. 

These figures compare with the 
expenditures of the Department for 
1945-46 which totaled $119,027.79 
more than the $53,771.23 in Federal 
funds spent last year. State monies 
spent by the Department last year 
amounted to $32,515.03 and local 
funds to $32,928.34. 

Because the number of families 
in need in Shelby County has in- 
creased materially since last year, 
it will be necessary to use a large 
part of this new money to grant 
assistance to these new families. 
There were 469 families receiving 
aid a year ago, whereas checks 
went to 589 in October, 1946. The 
end of war jobs, the discontinuance 
of allowance to servicemen's fami- 
lies, and rising living costs have ac- 
counted for many new applicants 
for public assistance. Funds are 
still insufficient, therefore, to pro- 
vide for families adequately, and 
will not permit any appreciable 
number of new families to be ad- 
ded to the rolls during the coming 
months. 

Other members of the board, in 
addition to Mr. Brown, are : Myrtle 
Brooke and Frank Baker of Mon- 
tevallo, Mrs. Joe Davidson of Hel- 
ena, J. F. McGraw, of Vincent, A. 
B. Bristow of Shelby, and R. R. 
Roberson of Wilsonville.

Community Chest 

(Continued from page 1) 

upon the work of the committee : 

I desire to report to you on the 
work of the Social Welfare Com- 
nVttee otf the Community Chest 
Board for the year 1945-46. The 
main project which the Committee 
has undertaken this year has been 
to explore with the Negro mem- 
bers of the community the possi- 
bility of a more active participa- 
tion in the Community Chest. The 
Committee met a number of times 
with members of the Negro com- 
munity. They formed an Executive 
Committee headed by Jesse Peo- 
ples. This committee put on a Com- 
munity Chest drive among their 
own people and raised $50. It was 
agreed that the Negro committee 
would have the privilege of spend- 
ing 75 per cent of their money 
which they contributed to the 
Montevallo Community Chest. They 
were allowed to deduct from their 
donations any expenses which were 
related to such receipts. 

It was believed that the arrange- 
ment whereby the Negroes would 
make direct contributions to the 
Montevallo Community Chest 
would give them a feeling of par- 
ticipation in community affairs and 
would give them an understanding 
of the operation of the Community 
Chest. It likewise would make it 
possible for them to contribute to, 
as well as receive from, the Com- 
munity Chest. 

I believe the interest in the pro- 
ject was very real and is worthy 
of encouragement. They are willing 
to undertake such projects and, in 
my opinion, are not only willing, 
but desire to assume such respon- 
sibility. 

I sincerely hope that the Social 
Welfare Committee will continue 
this relationship and will encourage 
such Negro participation in the 
Montevallo Community Chest. 

Mrs. F. M. Eiland, Sr. 
Dies In Bessemer 

Mrs. F. M. Eiland Sr., of Under- 
wood, Alabama died in a Bessemer 
hospital on November 1, 1946. She

fered much for the last two years 
all of which she bore with patience 
and Christian faith. 

Mrs. Eiland was unusually belov- 
ed by all who knew her. She with 
her husband and family had resid- 
ed in this county for about 26 
years. 

She became a Christian early in 
life, and was a faithful devoted

Support Urged For 
Christmas Seal Sale 

Tuberculosis is killing 144 Ameri- 
cans every day — killing at the rate 
of one person every ten minutes. 

This assertion was made this 
week by Mr. Henry M. Johnson, 
Siluria, Shelby County chairman of 
the 1946 Christmas Seal Sale, who 
pointed out that Christmas Seals 
wage a year-round battle to help 
curb the disease. 

Announcing that this year's 
Christmas Seal Sale will open of- 
ficially November 25, and continue 
until Christmas. Mr. Johnson em- 
phasized that the generous support 
of every citizen of Shelbv County 
is needed "to put the skids on a 
killer which takes the lives of 
55,000 Americans every year.'' 

"We must employ every means at 
our command to stave off a dis- 
ease which is a greater killer than 
all other communicable diseases 
combined," he said. "Tuberculosis 
kills more people than all other com- 
municable diseases, including such 
diseases as typhoid, small pox, 
whooping cough, measles and diph- 
theria. No person in Shelby County 
is safe as long as there is one case 
of tuberculosis among us." 

Mr. Johnson expressed the hope 
that .this year's Seal Sale would be 
sufficiently successful to wage a 
greater battle against tuberculosis 
through a strong program of pre- 
vention and control. 

A smiling lamplighter, symbolic 
of the returning hope of the world, 
is featured on the 1946 Christmas 
Seal. Each sheet of 100 Seals car- 
ries four special Seals which arc 
portraits of the four persons large- 
ly responsible for the success of the 

first seale Sale back in 1907. This 
year's campaign is dedicated to 
these pioneers who inaugurated an 
idea which has resulted in a 75 per 
cent decrease in tuberculosis deaths 
in 40 years, Mr. Johnson said. 

"We must be reminded, however, 
that tuberculosis still is the leading- 
cause of death among young people 
between the ages of 15 and 35. We 
all can have a part in carrying on 
the fight started by these four."

Power Company To 
Build New Plant 

Announcement has been made by 
Alabama Power Company that it 
plans to construct a new steam 
plant to be located at or near the 
City of Gadsden. The plant will be 
laid out for two units with an in- 
itial capacity of 120,000 kilowatts. 
Construction will go forward as 
rapidly as plans can be completed, 
and materials and equipment secur- 
ed. The site, will be laid out, and 
provision made, for the installation 
of additional units in the future. 

The new plant wil be connected 
to the transmission system of the 
Company, and its operation will be 
coordinated with that of the other 
power sources of the system; there- 
fore high tension lines and sub- 
stations will also be constructed 
along with the steam plant. The 
plant will be designed to burn both 
coal and natural gas. When running 
on coal at full capacity it will re- 
quire about 1200 tons of coal daily. 

Thomas W. Martin, President of 
the Company, in making the an- 
nouncement stated that the Com- 
pany had made a careful study of 
the probable uses of power over 
the next few years for industrial, 
commercial, urban and rural pur- 
poses. Based on this study, and in 
keeping with its long established 
policy of being ready to meet the 
increased demands for power when- 
ever they arise, the Company is 
planning this substantial increase in 
its power plant capacity, which at 
the present time is 700,000 kilowatts.

Local Veterans 
Defeat Columbiana 

The Montevallo veterans under 
the coaching of Mr. C. R. Small, 
defeated the Columbiana Veterans 
12 to 7 in a game at Montevallo 
High School football field Wednes- 
day night. 

Although the field was wet and 
muddy, both teams played a fine 
game. Montevallo scored early in 
the game on a downfield march of 
sixty yards which the Columbiana 
team failed to halt. Montevallo at- 
tempted to kick the extra point 
but failed. Columbiana scored a few 
minutes later on a long pass, and 
made the extra point, making the 
score 7 to 6. Montevallo made the 
wining score in the third quarter. 

The game was sponsored by the 
Montevallo American Legion and 
all proceeds will go to the Legion 
building fund. 



Marian Hughes 
Presents Concert 

Marian Hughes, known to New 
York radio audiences as the "Ala- 
bama Thursh," Monday night pre- 
sented a song recital here at Ala- 
bama College, her Alma Mater, 
from which she obtained the de- 
gree of bachelor of music in 1941, 
before beginning her study of voice 
in Philadelphia and New -York. 
Miss Hughes, whose career exemp- 
lifies to the fullest the proverbial 
formula, "small-town girl makes 
good," is a native of Gadsden, and 
has made numerous musical ap- 
pearances on the concert and musi- 
cal comedy stage, and pictorial ap- 
pearances on magazine covers as 
a Powers model. 

Miss Hughes's voice, which is de- 
signated in publicity blurbs as 
"lyric soprano," has an almost 
coloratura quality in its lightness 
and clarity. This was demonstrated 
best in the rapid runs of the two 
arias on her program, "Una voce 
poco fa," from Rossini's "The Bar- 
ber of Seville" and "Ah fors' e lui 
che 1' anima," from "La Traviata,'' 
of Verdi, which she performed with 
agility and precision. Miss Hughes 
exhibited her musicanship by' her 
intelligent interpretations, tone col- 
or, and exceedingly clear diction. 
Her program was well-planned and 
varied, consisting of such contrast-

"La Danza," which she sang with

Helpful Hints on Curing Pork 

The best way to cure pork is with 
salt and time. Salt is the chief pre- 
servative. Too little salt and even 
cold pork may spoil. Too much and 
the meat has to be parboiled before 
frying. 

8 pounds of salt for 100 pounds of 
dry cured meat is on the safe or 
salty side. If you apply it carefully 
six pounds is enough. For slicing 
bacon, three pounds of salt to 100 
lbs. cf bacon is plenty. 

Keeping meat in cure the proper 
length of time is also very import- 
ant. For dry cure keep all hams and 
shoulders in the cold cure at least 
25 days. Hold the joints weighing

DECEMBER REMINDERS 
FOR THE FARM 

Here are a few reminders that 
should be done in December. 

Farm Jobs 
December is a good month to 
spread lime, repair and paint your 
farm machinery. Also clear and 
clean up pastures. If your fences 
need repairing December is a good 
month to do it in. 

Forestry 

December is a good month to make 
things, pruning and to provide for 
winter and spring fire protection in 
your timberland. 

All pecans should be gathered be- 
fore they are damaged by bad 
weather. Prices are usually higher 
before Christmas than after. 

Livestock 
Turn cattle on winter grazing crops 
as fields are gleaned. Keep fall pigs 
on green grazing crops with full 
feed of corn. 

Paultry 

It is impossible for hens to lay 
eggs unless they eat more feed of 
the right kind than it takes to 
maintain life. Give her plenty of 
good feed. 

During December keep birds con- 
fined to the house close to the mash 
hoppers full of feed until noon each 
day, and all day on rainy days. 

All night lights will stimulate 
feed consumption, thus more eggs. 

If you are relying on poultry to 
be a definite source of your cash 
income, you should have at least 
100 hens on your farm. December 
is a good month to be planning 
your poultry program for next 
spring. 

Soil Conservation 

A great deal of soil can be saved 
this winter if cotton and corn stalks 
and other crop residues are cut and 
disced into the ground. 

December is the best month for 
terracing. Existing terraces should 
be plowed and repaired before the 
winter rains set in.

Christmas Seal Drive 
For Tuberculosis 

A total of 18 persons died of 
tuberculosis in Shelby County last 
year, according to Mr. Henry M. 
Johnson, Siluria, who this week 
cited figures based on a report issu- 
ed by the State Health Department 
and the Alabama Tuberculosis As- 
sociation. 

"Since statistical studies have 
shown there probably are 9 cases 
existing in a community for every 
annual death from tuberculosis, we 
get a mental picture of 162 cases in 
Shelby County representing a chal- 
lenge and threat to every person 
in the county," he said. 

Mr. Johnson is chairman of the 
Shelby County Tuberculosis Asso- 
ciation which is sponsoring the 1946 
Christmas Seal Sale, an organized 
appeal for funds with which to help 
prevent and control tuberculosis. 
The Seal Sale is the only campaign 
held to raise funds for the volun- 
tary tuberculosis Associations of 
the nation, Mr. Johnson said, add- 
ing that 95 per cent of the money 
from sales remains in Alabama and 
a minimum of 75 per cent stays in 
the county in which it is raised. 

Stressing that tuberculosis is a 
highly communicable disease, Mr. 
Johnson said national statistics 
prove the majority of cases are 
never reported to health authorities. 

"But by multiplying our known 
TB deaths last year by nine, we 
can estimate at 162 the tuberculosis 
load existing in Shelby County at 
present. Actually, only 66 cases are 
known to county and state health 
officials. 

"The death of the 18 people who 
lost their lives to the disease last 
year was needless, because tuber- 
culosis can be prevented and cured. 
The best way to show our inter- 
est is to get behind the Christmas 
Seal Sale and raise sufficient money 
to organize a strong movement to 
help prevent and control the dis- 
ease," he said. 

The Seal Sale opened November 
25, and will continue until Christ- 
mas, Mr. Johnson said. 



Study Club Meets 
With Mrs. Givhan 

The Montevallo Study Club met

ly in the chair. She led the salute 
to the flag and the reading of the 
club collect. Mrs. G. P. Rogan gave 
the treasurer's report and the re- 
port of the membership committee. 
Mrs. Leslie Hubbard reported for

buted the blind-made goods. 

Mrs. M. L. Orr Sr., reported for 
the Committee on Maternal Wel- 
fare. 

One new member, Mrs. E. B. 
Barnes from Boothton, was wel- 
comed into the club. 

In closing the business session 
Mrs. Kennerly urged club members 
to enter the writer's contest spon- 
sored by the Alabama Writer's 
Conclave. 

Mrs. Frank Baker led a round 
table discussion on the conferences 
which led up to the United Nations' 
Organization and the United Na-

Lost Child Is Found 
Unharmed After 
Ail-Night Search 

Randy Gray, 2V 2 year-old son of 
Mr. and Mrs. Horace Gray, of 
Clanton, was found: safe in the 
woods near Montevallo at 9 a.m. 
Wednesday after being missing 
since 11 a.m. Tuesday. 

The child was suffering from ex- 
posure, and a physician was hastily 
summoned. The child was found by 
Robert Jarvis, of the Pea Ridge 
community. Jarvis was a member 
of the searching party which look- 
ed all night long for the missing 
boy. 

Jarvis said he found the boy in 
some underbrush two miles north- 
east of Montevallo. 

"I heard him crying in the under- 
brush," Jarvis, farmer said. 

Jarvis said the first thing the boy 
asked was: Is daddy coming?" 

Then when the father, Horace 
Gray, Clanton painter, approached 
with his other son, 5-year-old John 
Gray, the 2^-year-old missing boy 
exclaimed : "Johnny sees me I" 

The parents feared the boy may 
have fallen into one of two creeks 
and three lakes that dot the moun- 
tainous terrain into which the 
child wandered with his 5-year-old 
brother, John Reid Gray. The older 
brother was found safe about 100 
yards from the house into which 
his grandfather, Whit Brown, was 
moving Tuesday. He was discover- 
ed shortly after the parents sound- 
ed an alarm for their two missing 
children. 

More than 350 persons of this 
community waded through mud and 
water all night long, using search- 
lights, miners' lamps and ordinary- 
flashlights in their hunt for 2 l /t- 
year-old William Randall Gray. 

An appeal over Birmingham radio 
stations brought additional search- 
ers from Montevallo, Clanton, Dog- 
wood Mines and even Birmingham. 

The parents, Mr. and Mrs. 
Horace Gray live on the Selma 
Road near Clanton. They had come 
to the 370-acre farm near here to 
which Whit Brown (Mrs. Gray's 
father) was moving to help in the 
transfer. 

As the furniture was being mov- 
ed, the two children playing near 
their grandfather's new home dis- 
appeared. 

The estate on which they became 
lost is known as the Mudd Place, 
owned by Douglas Kirkpatrick, Bir- 
mingham automobile dealer. Over- 
seer of the estate is T. R. Knowles, 
brother-in-law of Mrs. Gray. 

School was dismissed in Monte- 
vallo early Tuesday afternoon so 
the older school children could join 
the search. Business men of Mon- 
tevallo and surrounding communi- 
ties closed shops to aid in the hunt. 
Many of them were still probing 
waters of lakes and creeks studding 
the area, and after a sleepless night, 
they expressed determination to 
stay on the job until the child was 
found. 

The child's father, Horace Gray 
a painter of Clanton, also was up 
the entire night and refused to 
take any rest Wednesday morning. 
About 12 state highway patrolmen 
joined the searching party.

tude is extended to our many

New Auto Tags To Be 
Issued In December 

The Department of Revenue ex 
pects to begin replacing automobile 
tags spoiled by rust during the 
first week in December, and will 
handle the job in a manner to 
cause the least possible inconveni 
ence to the public, and the probate 
judges, Revenue Commissioner A 
C. Pitts announced this week. 

Commissioner Pitts said that an 
agent of the Department of Reve 
nue will be stationed at each pro 
bate office over the State. Motor 
ists whose tags have been rendered 
illegible by rust may get a new set 
without cost or red tape, simply by 
surrendering the old tags. They will 
be given a receipt with the new tag, 
but no attempt will be made to take 
up old receipts. Having a Depart 
ment of Revenue agent at each 
courthouse will avoid, throwing ad 
ditional work on the probate 
judges. Commissioner Pitts 6aid 
that the emergency replacement 
tags will bear the letter "E", both 
for automobiles and trucks, with 
tag numbers beginning at 101. Ten 
thousand of the emergency tags 
have been made, and others will be 
available on short notice if needed, 
the commissioner said.

Prevent Forest Fires; 
Save Homes for Vets 

Servicemen are in desperate need 
of homes, yet this year's crop of 
forest and woods fires may again 
destroy enough timber to build 
215,000 two-bedroom houses, State 
Forester, J. M. Stauffer said today. 
That is why "PROTECT his 
AMERICA" is the slogan of the 
nation-wide Forest Fire Prevention 
program scheduled to start here on 
December 3, 1946 he continued. 

This threat to the welfare of 
Servicemen is no idle one, accord- 
ing to, this official. The United 
States averaged more than 210,000 
forest and woods fires in peacetime 
years-"more than 575 every day," 
he said. These fires burned over as 
many acres as there are in the 
whole of New York State. They 
denuded vital watersheds, caused 
floods, killed and crippled livestock 
and game. And they killed billions 
of little trees that should make 
more homes, and more jobs, for to- 
morrow, he added. 

But there is a pay-off, according 
to officials who say this year's pro- 
gram is spear-headed by State 
Foresters and Directors of .Conser- 
vation in cooperation with the For- 
est Service of the U. S. Department 
of Agriculture. 

Nine out of every 10 forest, woods 
and range fires in the United States 
can be prevented, these officials 
say, because they are started by 
people who deliberately set them 
for spite or some fancied personal 
gain, or by people who are care- 
less with matches, cigarettes, and 
camp fires. 

"Our record is better than this 
national one," C. M. Stuckey, Ran- 
ger, pointed out, but there is a real 
need, and a real opportunity for 
every one of us to help save for- 
ests for our Servicemen, and homes 
and jobs for them, BY REMEM- 
BERING TO (1) Hold your match 
'till it's cold, then pinch it to make 



sure ; (2) Crush out your cigarette, 
cigar, pipe ashes, then, when there's 
an ash tray, use it ; (3) Drown 
your campfire and warming fire, 
then stir and drown again; (4) If 
you must use fire ; Ask about a 
permit, burn only on still evenings, 
have help handy, kill every spark !

Registration At 18 
Is Now Compulsory 

While the Selective Training and 
Service Act, as amended and ex- 
tended until March 31, 1947, ex- 
empts men under 19 years of age 
from induction, except as volun- 
teers, prompt registration at the 
age of 18 remains compulsory. 

The responsibility of every male 
citizen of the United States and 
every male person in the United 
Slates, including those who become 
18 years old, to register for military 
training and service is set forth in 
Section 2 of the Act. 

Any such person becoming 18 
years old is required to present 
himself immediately for registration 
by the local board for the area in 
which he has his permanent home 
or for the one in which he may 
happen to be on that date. 

Failure to register is punishable, 
upon conviction, by fine or impri- 
sonment, or both.

On The Farms In 
Shelby County 

By B. F. Hatchett, J. M. Smith 

Farmers in the past who have 
prepared their land early for Kud- 
zu, Sericea and Pastures have had 
best results. 

G. H. Eastis prepared his pasture 
land this summer and fall for seed- 
ing. In early October it was pro- 
perly fertilized and seeded with 
inoculated White Dutch clover seed. 
Weather permitting, it will be ex- 
cellent grazing by the middle of 
December. His policy is, anything 
worth planting is worth proper pre- 
paration and fertilizing. Anyone

seeing his farm will agree with him. 

Farmers last year and years be- 
fore who prepared their land early 
and fertilized for kudzu were able 
to get a perfect stand in the third 
year. 

Those who are planning on plant- 
ing kudzu, sericea or pasture grass 
next spring should prepare their 
land now. 

Oland Smith, the County Admin- 
istrative Officer of the P M A 
(AAA) says that everything will be 
done to furnish farmers with kud- 
zu crowns, lespedeza sericea, seed, 
pasture grasses and clover seed for 
spring planting. 

Buy your fertilizer early, get 
your land ready and see about your 
seed before next year.

Cooperative Gin at Vincent Aiding 
Farmers of That Section 

The Coosa Valley Cooperative 
Gin located in Vincent, in its first 
year of operation, is proving to be 
a great asset to farmers of that 
section. The gin is a cooperative 
owned and operated by farmers and 
businessmen of Vincent and the 
surrounding territory. 

Vincent and its farming territory 
has been without the services of a

gin for eight years. The Vincent 
Exchange Club realized the need of 
a gin for that section last winter 
and it was with this club that the 
idea of building a gin originated. 

The gin is one of the most mod- 
ern cotton gins in the state. It is a 
3 stand, 80 saw continental gin with 
cleaning and drying equipment. The 
name Coosa Valley Cooperative, 
was used because Vincent is in the 
heart of the Coosa Valley. S. C. 
and L. J. Embry are managers of 
the gin. 

The gin was completed on Sep- 
tember ISth of this year, and has 
already ginned 1,300 bales of cot- 
ton. The cooperative allows the 
farmers of Shelby County and St. 
Clair Counties an opportunity to 
have cotton ginned closer home. As 
the gin is a non-profit cooperative, 
dividends will be divided among the 
cotton producers on a per bale 
basis. It is planned that the gin will 
be paid for within 10 years, and 
that farmers will be able to gin 
their cotton at cost. 

Members of the board of direc- 
tors of the gin are : I. L. Sharbutt, 
President; S. E. McGraw, H. E. 
Florey, J. O. Gorman, J. H. Thomp- 
son, E. E. Wallis and J. M. Lowe.

ty has a mighty good corn yield re- 
port to make. Mr. Lovett planted 2 
acres of Hybrid corn this year and 
made 68 bushes per acre on the 
same land he planted common yel- 
low corn and made 32 l / 2 bushels 
per acre. The hybrid corn made 
ZS l / 2 bushels more per acre than 
did the ordinary corn. Both plots 
were fertilized with 600 pounds of 
4-10-7 at planting, and side dressed 
with 200 pounds ammonia nitrate. 



4-H Club members are studying 
Horticulture in their November 
monthly meetings. Demonstrations 
on how to prune apple and peach

orchards, much fruit can be grown 
in a well planted and well manag- 
ed home orchards. 



Mr. Brown Evans, of Wilsonville 
states that he sold $200 worth of 
White Dutch Clover seed from 1.2 
acres. He states that was the most 
profit on such a small acreage that 
he has ever made. 



Mr. J. M. Denson, of the New 
Hope Community has just recently 
completed a 30" cow Grade A Dairy 
Barn. This dairy barn is one of the 
most modern in the county. 



Shelby County farmers uftd over 
2,200 tons of basic slag, this year. 
This fertilizer was used mostly on 
pastures, winter legumes, winter 
grazing and permanent hay crops. 
They also spread 1,651 tons of lime 
on their farm lands. The AAA issu- 
ed orders to farmers for 387,800 
pounds of 20% superphosphate. 



According to Oland D. Smith,

er seed to farmers to improve their 
permanent pasture.

New Auto Tags To Be 
Issued In December 

The Department of Revenue ex- 
pects to begin replacing automobile 
tags spoiled by rust during the 
first week in December, and will 
handle the job in a manner to 
cause the least possible inconveni- 
ence to the public, and the probate 
judges, Revenue Commissioner A. 
C. Pitts announced this week. 

Commissioner Pitts said that an 
agent of the Department of Reve- 
nue will be stationed at each pro- 
bate office over the State. Motor- 
ists whose tags have been rendered 
illegible by rust may get a new set 
without cost or red tape, simply by 
surrendering the old tags. They will 
be given a receipt with the new tag, 
but no attempt will be made to take 
up old receipts. Having a Depart- 
ment of Revenue agent at each 
courthouse will avoid throwing ad- 
ditional work on the probate 
judges. Commissioner Pitts said 
that the emergency replacement 
tags will bear the letter "E", both 
for automobiles and trucks, with 
tag numbers beginning at 101.

Chirstmas Lights To 
Burn This Year 

Montevallo's Christmas Lights 
will be burning again this year 
through the efforts of the Monte- 
vallo Merchants Association. This 
action was taken Tuesday night at 
the association's regular monthly 
meeting. Expenses incurred in con- 
nection with Christmas lighting will 
be defrayed with funds from the 
association's treasury. 

Several other items of community 
interest were discussed and acted 
upon during the course of the 
regular business meeting. The next 
meeting will be held January 7, 1947 
at 7:30 p. m. 



Alabama Asks Aid 
To Veterans 

The State of Alabama, through 
its Department of Veterans' Affairs, 
today called upon Alabama Indus- 
trialists to provide jobs for handi- 
capped veterans. 

"Most of these physically handi- 
capped veterans are in receipt of 
small pensions or compensation," 
Mr. Horton said, "and many of 
them, unless otherwise inspired, 
will simply adjust their living stand- 
ards to the point where they can 
exist on the Federal pension and 
will lose all worth as self-support- 
ing and producing members of so- 
ciety. Most of them would, how- 
ever, take advantage of the educa- 
tion and training provided by Fed- 
eral legislation and fit theselves for 
jobs in industry, if places could be 
found for their talents, despite any 
existing physical handicap," he said. 

So far as is known, this is the 
first attempt to analyze job oppor- 
tunities for handicapped war veter- 
ans in the Nation. 



STUDIOSIS 

• Studiosis will have its annual 
Christmas Party, December 10 at 
7 :30 p.m. in Reynolds Hall. Each

Alabama College, who will 
attend the fifty-first meeting 
of the Southern Association

Dr. Napier will present

on Curriculum. 



Christmas Trees 
Grown At Profit 

Christmas trees that add so much 

to the spirit of the season give 
farmers another way to add to their 
cash income. 

At present most of the demand 
for Christmas trees in cities is sup- 
plied by the Pacific Northwest. 
These trees, cut weeks before 
Christmas and shipped a long dis- 
tance, do not keep their fragrance 
and foliage as well as local trees. 

Alabama farmers living fairly 
close to good markets could grow 
Christmas trees on idle land and 
sell them at a profif. Cecil Clapp, 
API extension forester, reports 
that many farmers are already do- 
ing this. 



COTTON GINNING REPORT 

Census report shows that 3781 
bales of cotton were ginned in Shel- 
by County, Alabama from the crop 
of 1946 prior to November 14 as 
compared with 3257 bales for the 
crop of 1945. — John D. Mooney.

High School Band 
To Give Concert 

The High School Band and Glee 
Club will present A Christmas con- 
cert followed by a dance on Friday 
December 13, in the high school 
auditorium. The concert program 
will contain interesting arrange- 
ments of less familiar Christmas 
music including some southern 
mountaineer carols, "Oh ! Holy 
Night," "The Holy City" and others 
by the Glee Club, and "Gesu Bam- 
bino" by Yon and Victor Herbert's 
"March of the Toys" by the Band. 
Since most of the concert program 
will be sacred music, the stage set- 
ting will represent a church choir 
loft with lighted window. 

The admission price of 50 cents 
will include both the concert and 
the dance and proceeds wil go into 
the band instrument fund. Every- 
one in the community as well as 
those in the college and public 
schools are urged to come to the 
concert and stay for the dance. 



Buy Christmas Seals- 
Fight Tuberculosis 

"Just suppose a member of your 
family happened to be one of the 
18 people in Shelby County who 
died last year from tuberculosis. 

"Just suppose you were one of 
the persons in Shelby County who 
at present are known by health 
officials to have the disease. 

"Christmas Seals are on the job 
to fight tuberculosis. Are you do- 
ing your part to protect your home 
and others, by buying and using 
Christmas Seals so their mission of 
saving lives can be successful? 

This challenge to increase the 
fight against tuberculosis was un- 
derscored this week by Henry M. 
Johnson, Siluria, who as chairman 
ot the Shelby County Tubercu- 
losis Association, urged individuals 
to remember that "Christmas Seals 
protect your home against a disease 
vdiich kills more Americans every 
year than all other communicable 
disease combined." 

Describing tuberculosis as the 
chief murderer of Americans in 
their prime — the leading cause of 
death in the 15 to 35 age group- 
Mr. Johnson urged increased pur- 
chase of Christmas Seals as a 
means of financing a prevention 
and control program to avoid furth- 
er needless loss of life in Shelby 
County. 

"Tuberculosis can be prevented 
and cured," he said, "if every one 
who can, will add to the fund de- 
signed to help control the disease 
on a widescale basis. The Christmas 
Seal Sale is the only campaign held 
to finance work carried on by the 
volunteer tuberculosis associations." 

Alabama's tuberculosis death rate 
was 48-7 per 100,000 in 1935, accord- 
ing to State Health Department re- 
cords, with 1,434 persons losing 
their lives to the disease. Records 
show 18 deaths occurred in Shelby 
County, Mr. Johnson said. 

"Just suppose it happened to you 
or a member of your family." 



Persons in possession of flash- 
lights, lighting equipment or other 
supplies loaned by merchants or 
others in this vicinity to aid in the 
search for the Gray children are 
asked to leave such borrowed 
equipment at the Goodyear Store 
in Montevallo at their earliest con- 
venience.

Support Urged For 
Christmas Seal Sale 

Tuberculosis is killing 144 Ameri- 
cans every day — killing at the rate 
of one person every ten minutes. 

This assertion was made this 
week by Mr. Henry M. Johnson, 
Siluria, Shelby County chairman of 
the 1946 Christmas Seal Sale, who 
pointed out that Christmas Seals 
wage a year-round battle to help 
curb the disease. 

Announcing that this year's 
Christmas Seal Sale will open of- 
ficially November 25, and continue 
until Christmas. Mr. Johnson em- 
phasized that the generous support 
of every citizen of Shelbv County 
is needed "to put the skids on a 



killer which takes the lives of 
55,000 Americans every year." 

"We must employ every means at 
our command to stave off a dis- 
ease which is a greater killer than 
all other communicable diseases 
combined," he said. "Tuberculosis 
kills more people than all other com- 
municable diseases, including such 
diseases as typhoid, small pox, 
whooping cough, measles and diph- 
theria. No person in Shelby County 
is safe as long as there is one case 
of tuberculosis among us." 

Mr. Johnson expressed the hope 
that this year's Seal Sale would be 
sufficiently successful to wage a 
greater battle against tuberculosis 
through a strong program of pre- 



vention and control. 

A smiling lamplighter, symbolic 
of the returning hope of the world, 
is featured on the 1946 Christmas 
Seal. Each sheet of 100 Seals car- 
ries four special Seals which arc 
portraits of the four persons large- 
ly responsible for the success of the 

first seale Sale back in 1907. This 
year's campaign is dedicated to 
these pioneers who inaugurated an 
idea which has resulted in a 75 per 
cent decrease in tuberculosis deaths 
in 40 years, Mr. Johnson said. 

"We must be reminded, however, 
that tuberculosis still is the leading 
cause of death among young people 
between the ages of 15 and 35. We 
all can have a part in carrying on 
the fight started by these four."

IN RURAL ALABAMA 



SECTION OF - MONTEVALLO TIMES - MONTEVALLO, ALA 



First Steps In Animal 
Disease Control Free 




Dr. W. S. Bailey in the State Veterinary Diagnostic laboratory, Auburn, diagnosing specimen taken from 
animal to determine what disease caused death of animal. 



By A. E. CARNES 

IN the United States authorities estimate that 
farmers are losing $525,000,000 per year 
through livestock disease losses. Alabama 
has a laboratory that can aid in practically 
stamping out her share of this loss. 

The State Veterinary Diagnostic Labora- 
tory, located in Auburn, serves farmers, vet- 
erinarians, poultrymen and all people dealing 
with domestic animals in the State of Ala- 
bama, free of charge. 

Send Them To Auburn 

Alabama's diagnostic laboratory plays an 
important part in the rapid control of a dis- 
ease outbreak in any section of Alabama. For 
example, if a farmer's cattle or other live- 
stock begin to die from an unknown cause, 
this farmer or his veterinarian has the privi- 
lege of mailing suitable specimens taken from 
the animal or animals to this laboratory in 
Auburn for diagnostic service. 

In the case of chickens or small animals it 
is considered best to ship the animal. In either 
case this privilege should be used immediate- 
ly. A pamphlet containing directions for pre- 
paring and mailing specimens may be obtain- 
ed by writing this laboratory. 

When the specimens or animals are receiv- 
ed they are immediately delivered to the lab- 
oratory, and with the aid of the laboratory's 
facilities a quick but accurate diagnosis is 
made. This diagnosis is dispatched to the 
owner or veterinarian, which enables him to 
take immediate action to treat the disease, as 
well as control its spread. Rapid control 
measures could not be effectively taken with- 
out the laboratory's diagnosis which accu- 
rately and definitely states what the disease 
is. 

It Is Cooperative Work 

The Alabama Department of Agriculture 
and Industries operates this laboratory in co- 
operation with the Alabama Polytechnic In- 
stitute under the supervision of the State Vet- 
erinarian. Dr. W. E. Cotton, lecturer and 
consultant, A. P. I., has been its director since 
it was established in June, 1942. Dr. Cotton, 
known all over the world for his work with 
brucellosis in cattle, has as his assistant, Dr. 
W. S. Bailey, associate professor in the School 
of Veterinary Medicine. 

Anthrax Is Serious Disease 

Anthrax which can be transmitted to man 
is a disease that can strike and kill quickly. 
The best known means of controlling anthrax 
is a vaccine containing live anthrax spores. 
This points to the vital reason why a labora- 
tory diagnosis is required by law before use 
of this anthrax vaccine can be started. If an 
animal displays the symptoms of anthrax but 
does not have the disease, anthrax will be the 
immediate result if the vaccine is used. The 
importance of this laboratory in making a 
quick diagnosis when this disease is suspected 
cannot be over emphasized. 



An incident that occurred several years ago 
will demonstrate another reason why a lab- 
oratory diagnosis should be made to start the 
wheels of control measures turning when an- 
thrax is present. This, of course, holds true 
for other diseases. 

They Skinned The Cow 

Two negroes were skinning a cow that had 
died of anthrax. They did not know the cause 
of the cow's death but had decided to save 
and tan the hide. It was not long after this 
until they became ill with anthrax. With a 
little luck and a great deal of science they 
were saved from death. This was a costly 
way to find out the cause of the cow's death. 

If these negroes had called a veterinarian 
he would have taken a sample of the blood 
and mailed it to the State Diagnostic Labora- 
tory in Auburn. Within a very short time he 
could have told them what caused the cow's 
death. 

This Man Lost Entire Herd 

During this particular outbreak the State 
Diagnostic laboratory in Auburn diagnosed 
29 positive cases of anthrax. One man lost 
his entire herd of cattle before the disease 
could be checked. From this it can be seen 
why it is important that the laboratory be 
consulted at once in any outbreak of disease 
affecting domestic animals. 

The work of this laboratory is to be highly 



commended. Last year only one case of an- 
thrax was reported, and to date this year only 
one serious outbreak has occurred. These 
early reports caused a rapid control program 
to get under way, stopping the disease before 
it reached epidemic stage. 

Service For Poultrymen, Too 

Poultry farmers take advantage of this di- 
agnostic service especially in the case of sus- 
pected pullorum disease. The symptoms of 
this disease resemble symptoms of other dis- 
eases which make it necessary for a labora- 
tory diagnosis before measures of combating 
pullorum can be started. 

Some poultrymen know this disease as B. 
W. D. or White Diarrhea. Pullorum should 
not be referred to by these names because, 
white diarrhea is one symptom of other dis- 
eases as. well as pullorum. This is another 
reason why an accurate laboratory diagnosis 
is essential. 

They Want To Serve 

It is the desire of the personnel of this lab- 
oratory to serve the people of Alabama in the 
first steps necessary to control disease out- 
breaks in animals. This laboratory is not to 
take the place of the veterinarian but to sup- 
plement his work by assisting in diagnostic 
work for all people in Alabama who deal 
with domestic animals.

Don't Say "Aw Rats" 
About These Figures 

WHEN figures are presented for what rats 
eat, waste, and otherwise damage, the 
exclamation — "Aw Rats" — is* not in order. 

It costs plenty to keep rats on the farm, ac- 
cording to the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Ser- 
vice. Just how much corn will the average 
rat eat in a year? 

Studies reveal that he eats about 50 pounds 
of corn. But that's not all. He also wastes 
from 50 to 100 pounds in addition to what he 
eats. With corn at $2 a bushel, , or there- 
about, he piles up a big bill that the farm- 
er must pay, unless someone gets mad about 
the whole proposition and decides to put on 
a rat eradication campaign. 

And another thing. Eradication of rats is 
a good health measure not only for the fam- 
ily but. also for the livestock. 

Veterinarians say that rats carry such dis- 
eases as white scours of calves, mastitis, ring- 
worm, tuberculosis, contagious abortion, coc- 
cidiosis and infections of chickens, and trich- 
inosis of hogs. 

See your county agent about how to destroy 
rats with red squill or other poisons.

Agent, some of his experiences in buying scarce building materials. Jarvis has added 8,000 square feet of 
floor space to his cheese plant recently. —Photo by Austin EzzeU. 



Decatur Cheese Plant Had To Be Enlarged 



By AUSTIN EZZELL 
Assistant Extension Editor 



FARMERS in three North Alabama coun- 
ties have poured their surplus milk into a 
cheese plant located in Decatur until it lit- 
erally split at the seams and had to be en- 
larged. 

At least that is the reason Casto Jarvis, 
pleasant and efficient manager of the plant, 
offers for building an additional 8,000 square 
feet of floor space this year. 

Last year 12,000,000 pounds of milk were 
sold to Jarvis by 1,000 farmers in Morgan, 
Lawrence and Limestone counties. Total 
payroll to these farmers was over $400,000. 

"With our additional space for manufac- 
turing cheese we will be able to buy a lot 
more milk," Jarvis declares. "We hope our 
patrons will try to fill the larger plant as full 
of milk as thev did the old one." 

This is the fourth time that Jarvis has had 
to reach out and take in more space for this 
cheese plant since he began operating it five 
years ago. The plant is now six times as big 
as it was then. Included in the recent ad- 
dition are 3000 square feet of space for re- 
frigeration, 1500 to be used for processing 
and 3500 for manufacturing. 

Besides being able to handle, a greater 
volume of milk for manufacturing cheese, the 
enlarged plant also is equipped to make 
cheese of higher quality. 

Too, newly installed machinery is blending 
cheeses of different ages together into what 
is known as "processed cheese." This product 
requires no refrigeration and can be aged 
longer before being used. Jarvis hopes this 
is another step toward building a stronger 
market for cheese produced in Alabama. 

Seed In Demand 

FIRST year cotton seed and sericea seed 
will be in great demand next year. Farm- 
ers who have more of these seed than need- 
ed on their own farms should get good prices 
for them. 



Five Bolls Worth Penny 

"Five bolls of cotton are now worth a 
cent. All of us have seen the time when 
it took 35 to be worth a cent. Debts 
made at 35 'bolls of cotton to the cent 
can now be satisfied in all honesty at 
five bolls to the cent." — J. M. Eleazer 
in "Progressive Farmer." 




What A Cow Does At Night 

THE common belief that she spends most of 
her time lying down has been refuted 
by findings of dairy research workers at the 
Louisiana State University agricultural ex- 
periment station. 

In warm weather, they say, she spends 
most of the night grazing — if she gets the 
chance — in an effort to make up for time 
spent in the shade to escape the heat during 
the daytime. 

Constant observation of six dairy cows dur- 
ing one week in the summer showed that on 
two relatively warm days night grazing av- 
eraged over six hours, or more than three 
times the approximately two hours grazed 
during the daytime between morning mak- 
ings and evening milkings, according to Dr. 
D. M. Seath, dairy husbandman, and George 
D. Miller, assistant in dairy research. Graz- 
ing habits of the cows were studied to de- 
termine their effect on milk production. 

Daytime grazing more than doubled on two 
relatively cool days but even on the cooler 
days the cows grazed more at night than dur- 
ing the daytime, it was reported. 

"For the entire period," they say, "three 
grazing periods were the most common at 
night, and the time spent grazing averaged 
5.5 hours, while 3.5 hours were spent lying 
down and 0.7 hour standing without graz- 
ing." 

Results of the study, they say, suggest the 
importance of placing cows on good pasture 
at night and, especially on warm days, the 
•need for an excellent daytime pasture that 
will permit cows to become filled before the 
heat forces them to the shade. The study 
also indicates that dairymen would do well 
to get their cows on pasture as soon as pos- 
sible following morning milking and to mini- 
mize the time cows are held around barns 
during the cool part of the day. — Hoard's 
Dairyman. 

Loss Is $10,000,000 

VALUE of the manure produced annually 
by the livestock population in South Car- 
olina is estimated by H. A. Woodle and W. 
H. Craven, the state's extension agronomists, 
at $13,000,000, with fully $10,000,000 of that 
value lost because of poor management. 

The agronomists base their value of the 
manure on its commercial content of nitro- 
gen, phosphorus and potash and assert that 
there is another factor they have not includ- 
ed — worth of the material in supplying hum- 
us to worn soils.

Pointers On How To 
Kill And Cure Pork 

IT'S "hog killing" time if they haven't al- 
ready been killed.- 

Many folks are asking for assistance and 
information on cutting up the carcass, cur- 
ing the meat, making sausage and head 
cheese, and about storing the cured meat. 

For the farmer who needs such information 
as that noted above, there is a timely publi- 
cation that fits the bill. Just ask the county 
agent for Extension Circular No. 255 entitled 
"Killing, Cutting, Curing and Storing Pork on 
Alabama Farms." 

This publication gives a list of equipment 
needed for butchering on the farm, how to 
butcher the hog and cut up the carcass, in- 
formation on rendering lard, curing of the 
pork by dry curing or brine curing. 

Farmers Warned Look Out 
For "Hardware Disease" 

FROM time to time Alabama Extension Ser- 
vice warns against "hardware disease," 
which occurs almost entirely in cattle. 

This disease comes from the common habit 
of cattle eating nails, staples, pieces of wire, 
and other sharp metal objects which they 
find in pastures and elsewhere around the 
farm. Such assorted hardware often pene- 
trates vital organs, sometimes with fatal ef- 
fect. 

Prevention consists in keeping pastures, 
feedlots, fence corners, and all other parts of 
the premises free from small pieces of sharp 
metal that might cause injury to cattle or 
other stock. By particular care to keep nails 
out of grain feed and out of feed mangers 
many a valuable animal will be saved. 



QUESTIONS and ANSWERS 



MORE BEEF 

NEEDED 

now! 




Question: What is a good recipe for mak- 
ing sausage? 

Answer: Here is one good recipe: 1 pound 
of table salt, 2V2 ounces of finely ground 
black pepper, and 2 ounces of sage for 50 
pounds of pork, three-fourths lean and one- 
fourth fat. Mix the materials thoroughly 
and then spread evenly over the meat. Stir 
the meat well before chopping. 

Another popular recipe includes red pep- 
per. For 50 pounds of trimmings, use 1 pound 
of salt, ounces of ground sage, iy% ounces 
of black pepper, and ounces of red pep- 
per. 

Question: Can you give me information on 
canning meat? 

Answer: Extension Circular No. 166, "Can- 
ning Meat For Home Use," contains just the 
information you wish. It gives practical 
pointers in canning poultry, giblets, beef, 
pork, veal, lamb, sausage, corned beef, soup 
stocks, and spare ribs. Just ask your home 
agent for a copy. 

Question: What are homemakers to do for 
soap ? 

Answer: Save waste fats and make soap 
at home. Six pounds of waste fat and a can 
of lye will make nine pounds of soap. Di- 
rections for making soap are on the can of 
commercial lye. 



Question: How can I remove food which 
has spilled and burned in the oven? 

Answer: Saturate a cloth with household 
ammonia and place it on one of the racks in 
the oven. Close oven and leave overnight. The 
ammonia fumes should loosen the food by 
morning so it can be cleaned by washing with 
mild soap. For badly burned spots, lay the 
cloth saturated with ammonia directly on the 
bottom of the oven and proceed as above. 



They Agreed On Three Points 

LEADERS of farm organizations met re- 
cently at Buffalo to agree upon certain 
major objectives for agriculture. 

They agreed that (1) parity formula needs 
certain revisions to bring it closer to date; 
(2) surplus of farm production must find 
satisfactory disposal; (3) there must be price 
stabilization and also international agricul- 
tural cooperation. 



Livestock Better 
When Not In Barn 

T IVESTOCK kept on green grazing crops 
*—* and away from barns the year around 
usually are not bothered with diseases and 
internal parasites. 

Nearly all cases of hog cholera found are 
in animals kept in or around barns, rarely in 
those that stay on grazing crops, says W. H. 
Gregory, API extension livestock specialist. 

Cattlemen have learned that a pine thicket 
on a well-drained slope is the best "barn." 
Calves raised out in the open do better than 
those penned in barnlots. 

Soil in and around barns becomes infested 
with eggs of all kinds of internal parasites 
and disease germs, Gregory explains. The 
main use of barns should be to store surplus 
feed, not to house livestock. 

How Reduce Number Runts 

FARMERS can reduce the number of runty 
animals at least 90 per cent through good 
breeding, modern feeding practices, and con- 
trol of parasites and insects. Then, of the 
few runts that do occur, they suggest keep- 
ing only those that are well bred and other- 
wise promising.

^ P. O. DAVIS, 

WE'RE now aware of the fact that the wel- 
fare of each of us is part of the warp 
and woof of the national welfare. And the 
condition of the national, yes the internation- 
al, welfare affects each of us. 

These facts are introductory to what Mar- 
riner S. Eccles, chairman, Board of Gov- 
ernors of the Federal Reserve System, said re- 
cently. Mr. Eccles looked backward, then 
viewed the present, after which he looked 
forward. Among favorable factors he nam- 
ed: 

Six Favorable Factors 

(1) Nearly 11 million veterans have been 
demobilized and absorbed into employment 
at a rapid rate. Most of this was done in one 
year. 

(2) Civilian employment now stands at 58 
million, the highest ever. The highest figure 
during the war was 56 million. 

(3) Incomes of practically all groups are 
above record peacetime levels. The annual 
income payments are now close to 170 billion 
dollars which is higher than any wartime 
quarter and more than twice the highest pre- 
war peaks of 1929 and 1940. 

(4) Federal spending has been cut from 
over 100 billion dollars to an annual rate of 
40 billion. The budget is being brought into 
balance; and we have started on a program 
of debt reduction. 

(5) Liquid asset holdings of individuals 
have continued to increase, but at a much 
slower rate than during the war. More sav- 
ings bonds have been bought than sold by the 
public. 

(6) The expansion of total deposits has 
come to a halt and has been reversed and in- 
terest rates, although no longer declining, 
have remained low. 

Six Unfavorable Factors 

Among unfavorable facts he listed : 

(1) Premature lifting of controls of prices 
and wages. 

(2) Removal of the excess profits taxes too 
soon, or when needed to support economic 
stability. 

(3) Shortening the number of hours of 
work per week when "increased production 
was the basic solution to inflation." 

(4) Continued upward movement of wages 
and prices. 

(5) Cost of construction, and also some 
farm products, have advanced too far, or out 
of line with what people are willing to pay, 
even at the high level of income at the pres- 
ent. 

(6) Too much climbing in prices. of urban 
real estate (now in many areas twice the pre- 
war figure) and also farm real estate. 

Too Soon And Too Far 

He said that an upward adjustment in basic 
wage returns was necessary after the war but 
that, in many cases, it came too soon and, in 
some cases, it went too far. 

Then he turned to production, reminding 
that strikes and other disruptions have re- 
tarded production in many instances. On 
this he said : 

"More work and more goods are the basic 
-cures for inflation. That is the only way in 
which labor can keep the gains from the pay 
increases it has received. It is the only way 
to safeguard the purchasing power of all 
wages and savings. Further wage increases 
for the same amount of work and output 
would serve only to intensify the upward 
pressure on prices. Increased wages that re- 
sult in increased prices are self-defeating." 

This is the essence of the problem. Ameri- 
can people want more goods of all kinds and 
they will get them if they can buy them. 




Hattie Ruth Limbaugh and Roscoe Limbaugh, Rt. 1, Sylacauga, Ala., with tome of the 827 quarts of 
vegetables they canned from a 4-H garden project they conducted this year. 



And they do not want inflation. Therefore, 
by increasing production they will be able to 
get what they want without suffering the 
evils of inflation which in the end bring much 
grief. 

He Looked To Future 

Looking to the future he said : 
"We can succeed in the period ahead (1) 
if productivity per worker can be raised — 
this is most important, (2) if large scale in- 
dustrial disputes and further general wage 
increases can be avoided, and (3) if business 
groups are willing to refrain from further 
price increases, or even to lower prices and 
rely upon volume operations for profits. 

"High income and employment require de- 
mand sufficient to buy what the people can 
produce. During the 1930's demand was woe- 
fully inadequate. This basic inadequacy may

well develop again when the backlog de- 
mands have worn off, unless we have policies 
and programs to forestall it. 

"But this is not our most immediate con- 
cern. We are still in a position — and will be 
for some time — where private demand is 
basically sufficient to sustain a high level of 
employment if maladjustments and specula- 
tive excesses are avoided. The immediate 
danger is that demand in most lines is in ex- 
cess of supply." 

We Can Be Prosperous 

People now have more money with which 
to buy. Income this year, after taxes are 
paid, is around 150 billion dollars. This com- 
pares with 90 billion in 1941 ; and 140 billion 
as a war peak. 

Liquid assets held by individuals are esti- 
mated at 180 billion dollars, or almost three 
times that at the end of 1941. 

All of this adds to the conclusion that we 
have the assets, the resources, the know-how, 
and the ambition to attain and maintain a 
sound and prosperous condition in this coun- 
try. And we want to occupy our proper place 
in relation to other nations of the world. 

Use Anthrax Vaccines With Care 

VACCINATION for anthrax is a proceed- 
ing which must be undertaken with ex- 
treme care, according to livestock specialists, 
who warn that strong vaccines which must 
be employed in some areas may actually 
speed the spread of the disease in areas 
where it is appearing for the first time. 

The veterinarian should be called if an- 
thrax is suspected, since he will know what 
vaccine to use. 

Outbreaks of the disease have been report- 
ed in several states this year. — The Stock- 
man. 



BARKER and Tallarook varieties of Aus- 
tralian subterranean clover are finding 
favor in the clay hill sections of the South-

duces 200 to 300 pounds of seed per acre.

Both of these animals, for example, trans- 
mit the dangerous but, fortunately, rare dis- 
ease known as anthrax. The germs of this 
disease infect horses' hair and may travel to 
distant parts of the world before they attack 
a person. Several years ago the State Health 
Officer received a warning notice from the 
U. S. Public Health Service stating that a case 
of anthrax had been discovered in another 
state after the victim had purchased and used 
a shaving brush made of a horse's hair and 
shipped into the United States from Japan. 

Fortunately, none of the brushes in that 
shipment appears to have been sold in Ala- 
bama, but the warning served to remind Ala- 
bamians of this danger. The cow figures in 
the anthrax picture through the transmission 
of anthrax germs to persons handling the 
hides in tanneries. 

Glanders And Lockjaw- 
Glanders, a disease marked by chronic ul- 
cers, particularly in the nose, is much more 
prevalent in this country than anthrax, al- 
though it is limited to those who are in more 
or less constant physical contact with horses. 
Veterinarians are especially susceptible. 

Even more commonplace among humans, 
so commonplace in fact that serum is avail- 
able at all times to protect people against it, 
is tetanus, or lockjaw. It is caused by the in- 
fection of a wound with the tetanus organism, 
which normally lives in the intestinal tracts 
of herbivorous animals, especially the horse, 
and is discharged with their dung. It shows 
a remarkable power of survival under un- 
favorable conditions. Thus it may be found 
almost anywhere, and a child or adult who 
steps on a rusty nail or cuts his hand on a 
saw or knife that has been left out in the open 
should lose no time in seeing his physician 
and receiving the tetanus antitoxin. 

Other Diseases They Carry 

From the gentle cow, known affectionately 
as "the foster mother of the human race," 
humans may contract tuberculosis, septic sore 
throat, actinomycosis and undulant fever, as 
well as the already mentioned anthrax. The 
type of tuberculosis contracted in this way is 
different from that contracted from other 
persons, for, instead of attacking the lungs, 
it attacks the bones and joints and produces 
a form of crippling. Young people are espe- 
cially susceptible to it. Fortunately, it has 
been practically eliminated in many states, 
including Alabama, by the tuberculin-testing 
of cattle and the slaughter of those found to 
be infected. 

Septic sore throat can usually be traced to 
the drinking of milk from cows with infected 
udders. Originally found in milk from in- 
fected goats, undulant fever is now known to 
exist in, and to be contracted from, cows and 
swine as well. Pastuerization of milk offers 
complete protection to the milk-consuming 
public, as far as this form of illness is con- 
cerned, but other protective measures are 
necessary to safeguard dairy workers and 
others whose work requires them to spend 
much time in close physical association with 
cows. 

Actinomycosis is characterized by lumpy 
tumors in the jaw and on the tongue, and also 
occasionally on the skin and in the bone and

He Calls Them "Lazy Man's Fruit" 



Man Almost Stopped 

ENCOURAGING members of his 
church to work, a Negro preacher 
declared : 

"I never saw a rabbit or a bird or a 
fish or a bee in the bread line. The onli- 
est critter I saw there was wise Mr. Man. 
When the evil days of the depression 
came, the rabbits kept on hopping, the 
birds kept singing, the fish kept swim- 
ming, and the bees kept on gathering 
honey. But wise Mr. Man he came 
mighty near to a standstill." 




"QUALITY 
SURE 
COUNTS/" 



viscera. The victim experiences a marked 
loss of strength and weight and runs a high 
fever. 

Keep Using Them, But Be Careful 

Fortunately, man can continue to raise and 
slaughter cows and sell and drink their milk 
without being in serious danger of becoming 
sick as a result. The same is also true of the 
horse. But the necessary precautions should 
be observed at all times, and all, especially 
those living in rural sections, need to be on 
the lookout for the dangers that unquestion- 
ably exist. 



"HPHEY grow so easily, I call 'em the lazy 
man's fruit." 

That is the way C. S. Wright, Calhoun, 
speaks of the 17 varieties of muscadine 
grapes growing on his cattle and grape farm 
in Lowndes County, Alabama. 

Annually Mr. Wright produces some 5,000 
pounds of muscadine grapes per acre. These 
are used in making jellies, sandwich spreads, 
and fresh juice drinks. Many are sold as 
fresh fruit in nearby towns and villages. 

Mr. Wright got his idea of growing musca- 
dine grapes from the Georgia Experiment 
Station, Experiment, Georgia, which recom- 
mends this grape to farmers and fruit pro- 
ducers in most sections of the cotton belt. 

During 37 years of breeding and testing, 
the Georgia Station has developed and intro- 
duced to the public over a dozen improved 
varieties of muscadine grapes for wine and 
jelly products and for market. These include 
Brownie, Creek, Dawn, Dulcet, Howard, 
Hunt, Irene, Lucida, November, Qualites, 
Spalding, Stuckey, and Yuga. Muscadine 
vines of these are transplanted in December 
and January. 

Muscadine grapes are native to the cotton 
belt and are well known by older residents. 
Many native vines are estimated to be from 
150 to 350 years old. 

Quality of newer varieties is* far superior 
to the old varieties. As a rule they are not 
seriously damaged by either insects or dis- 
eases thus requiring very little spraying. Oc- 
casionally it is necessary to spray them with 
Bordeaux mixture for black rot. — Country 
Gentleman. 



FARM egg production in 1945, totaling 4,- 
601 million dozen, was 5 per cent below 
1944, but otherwise the largest on record. 
An outstanding development of the year was 
the record rate of lay, averaging 118 eggs 
per hen and pullet on farms January 1, 1945. 
This was 5 per cent above 1944 and about 20 
per cent above prewar rate.

A new firefighting plow for use in fighting fire in 
forests is being used by rangers and farmers in the 
Southeast. It was designed by the U. S. Forest Ser- 
vice which has given it the name "Ranger's Pal." 
Machines are being used at the Conecuh and Talladega 
national forests in Alabama. In tests it has been found 
that a ranger with a "Pal" and two or three men in a 
crew can get to a fire rapidly in a one-and-a-half ton 
truck. It can do as much work in clearing a fire line 
as can a ranger and 20 to 30 men working with picks, 
shovels, and rakes. 



1. Use of Soybeans for Hay — Alfalfa, 
sericea, small grain or mixtures of small grain 
or ryegrass and legumes produce higher per 
acre yields, afford soil protection and im- 
provement as well as sources of supplemen- 
tary grazing, decrease cost and increase live- 
stock carrying capacity of farms. 

2. Inadequate Use of Fertilizer and Lime 

— Failure to properly fertilize the part of the 
farm not treated with test demonstration fer- 
tilizer and failure to use sufficient potash and 
lime has seriously retarded yields of pasture, 
hay, cotton and corn. 

3. Inadequate Acreage of Supplementary 
Grazing Crops — Many farmers are depend- 
ing on improved pasture as the chief source 
of grazing. Adequate acreages of perennials 
and winter crops for grazing are essential 
parts of the grazing system. 

4. Delay in Planting — Yields obtained 
are often directly influenced by date of seed- 
ing the crop. 

5. Delay in Applying Fertilizer — Late ap- 
plications of nitrogen to small grain and corn 
seriously reduce the yields. 

6. Failure to Follow Rotations — Crimson 
clover-grain sorghum-oat rotations are pro- 
ducing maximum feed yields at low fertilizer 
cost. Cotton-vetch-corn rotations produce 
most economic yields of cotton and corn. 

7. Use of Low Yielding Varieties — The 

use of low yielding varieties of corn, cotton, 
small grain and grain sorghum seriously re- 
duce yields. 

8. Excessive Use of Harvested Feed — The 
feeding of cotton seed meal, grain and hay 
when livestock have access to sufficient graz- 
ing causes excessive feed cost. Protein sup- 
plement for hogs on alfalfa, white Dutch 
clover or crimson clover is not necessary. 



Less Soil Erosion 
If Stalks Are Cut 

/■^OTTON and corn stalks standing on about 
six million acres in the state can help 
keep fields from washing if they are cut 
down soon after crops are gathered. 

These stalks are the cheapest "cover crop" 
because the only cost is running a stalk cut- 
ter or a disk over them. Sam Doughty, API 
extension soil conservationist, says that when 
stalks are lying on the ground they make mil- 
lions of little dams on every acre. The dams 
keep rainfall from running quickly off the 
land, washing soil with it.

How Much Time Do Gates 
Waste? 

HOW much time and trouble do your 
gates cost you? How many times a 
day do you drive up to a gate on your 
farm, stop, jump out and open the gate, 
drive through, stop, jump out and close 
the gate — repeating it time after time 
for your truck, tractor and automobile? 

It would be handy to drive right 
through, wouldn't it, without worrying 
about your stock getting out, or some- 
one leaving the gate open? 

The "gateless gate," or cattle guard, 
is your answer, suggests Waldo Bell, Ex- 
tension agricultural engineer, of West 
Virginia. This device, which can be 
placed in the fence alongside the gate, 
allows vehicles to pass, but horses, cat- 
tle, sheep and hogs won't attempt to 
cross. — The Stockman. 

\ ) 



9. Maintenance of Low Producing Cows 
and Brood Sows — Keeping cows of low an- 
nual milk production and brood sows that 
produce small litters of pigs is not profitable. 

10. Excessive Feed Purchases"— The buy- 
ing of a dollar's worth of feed for each two 
dollars worth of livestock or livestock pro- 
ducts sold gives the demonstrator very low 
returns for labor and home grown feed. 

11. Failure to Make Proper Use of Temp- 
orary Fences — "We could not graze due to 
lack of fences," is a common statement. A 
properly constructed electric fence is the an- 
swer on many farms. Caution demonstrators 
not to use home made electric fences. They 
are dangerous. 

12. Failure to Plan Farm Operation in 
Advance — Futting off until tomorrow the re- 
pair of equipment and the securing of ferti- 
lizer, lime and seed are common factors re- 
tarding results. 




This Month In Rural Alabama 




In all parts of Alabama, farmers have blacksmiths 
busy getting their farm tools and implements ready 
for use next spring. The above picture shows Willis 
Lovell, Athens, R. 6, in his blacksmith shop sharpening 
a plow for a neighbor. Having this work done now 
will save a lot of time when plow time comes. 

4-H Club Girl Has 
Outstanding Record 

HEFLIN, Ala.— The outstanding 4-H club 
record made by Helen Ray of Cleburne 
County covers work in food preparation, can- 
ning and gardening for the past three years. 

Over 300 quarts of fruits, vegetables, and 
meats were canned each year. Helen has 
planned, prepared, and served several well 
balanced meals and individual dishes. She 
has raised 50 chickens in her poultry project. 

Helen completed clothing projects for the 
past two years, making 19 garments this year 
and 15 garments last year. These garments 
were very attractive and were well construct- 
ed. 

This active 4-H member was president of 
her class in 1944-45 and served as victoriaide 
leader in her community for the past three 
years. She was valedictorian of her class at 
Fruithurst Jr. High School last year and is 
vice-president of her class in Heflin this year. 

She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. G. 
Ray of Upper Cane Creek Community.

It's An Outrage 

A Washington newspaper insists that 
it's an outrage that the U. S. Gov- 
ernment and many states deliberately 
make margarine more expensive, hard- 
er to buy, and more troublesome to use. 

The editor added that there is a fed- 
eral tax of i/ic a pound on uncolored 
margarine and 10c on colored, plus sub- 
stantial license fees for manufacturers 
and wholesalers. He added : "The un- 
fair anti-margarine laws should be re- 
pealed as soon as Congress and the leg- 
islatures meet."

Need Christianity 

SPEAKING recently at a church conference 
in Philadelphia former Supreme Court 
Justice Owen J. Roberts said: 

"We need a democracy that stands on real 
Christian principles. We need a democracy 
that recognizes the great dignity of the in- 
dividual, the fact that the law springs from 
him and cannot be enforced unless the ma- 
jority of the people believe it should be en- 
forced."

Here are examples of how a farm woman "lives at home." The furniture shown here is hand made by 
Mrs. S. D. Ellis, Mt. Tabor Community, DeKalb County. The attractive hooked rug on the floor was made 
from an old burlap sack. 

Mrs. Ellis shows in the left picture how the center chair in the other picture looks "undressed." Frame 
was made from old lumber taken from a nearby planing mill. Stuffing consists of cotton raised on the 91 -acre 
farm. Springs are from an old automobile. Cover of chair is also hand made. Mrs. Ellis makes such items of 
furniture in her spare time and sells them, thereby adding to the farm income.

Lappacea (plover ^Popular In ^lack ^Belt 

LAPPACEA Clover is proving popular with 
farmers in the Black Belt section of Ala- 
bama. Examples are given by county agents : 
Harry Abrams, Eutaw, Greene County, 
says: "You should see the- luxuriant growth 
of Dallis grass following my lappacea clover. 
I sold cattle off lappacea clover that corre- 
sponded in quality with some that I had fed. 

"I like the other clover but lappacea rates 
No. 1 with me because it comes early and 
grows so dense on the land and also stimu- 
lates growth of grass that follows it." 

J. B. Jackson, cattleman of Greene County, 
bought a new place last fall and during the 
winter and early spring had opportunities to 
sell this place at a nice profit but refused 
when he found, a large areii of lappacea clov- 
er. Mr. Jackson says, "I like lappacea clover 
because my cattle like it so well. It comes at 
a time when it's needed and saves feed." 

R. E. Lambert & Sons of Darlington, Ala- 
bama, breeders of Polled Hereford cattle, 
planted lappacea clover on several acres in 
the fall of 1939. 

It was hurt some by the heavy freeze in 
February of 1940, but enough survived to re- 
seed and it has spread to a thick stand on 
all of the original acreage planted. Since 
then it has been planted on a much larger 
acreage and on several soil types. 

"It has made better growth on all Black 
Belt soil t^pes from January 15 to June 15 
than any pasture crop or plant we have ever 
used." 



Ala-Gold Pumpkins 

ROBERT TAYLOR of White Plains has 
been doing considerable planting of a 
new crop to Chambers County — the Ala-Gold 
Pumpkin or African Squash. This plant was 
introduced to America by a Missionary from 
Africa back in the early 30's and has been 
going strong. There is still a very limited 
seed supply. 

This small sized pumpkin has sugar con- 
tent of some 7 to 7.5 per cent as compared to 
our native pumpkin of 2 per cent. As a re- 
sult, this Ala-Gold pumpkin cooks out even 
better to my taste than sweet potatoes and 
makes the best of pies. Don't know where 
one might secure seed but if you find a few 
it certainly would be advisable to plant a few 
hills next year. 



He Got Help 

EXTENSION Timber Marketing Spe- 
cialist I. R. Martin of Cullman 
writes : 

"Mr. Luther Glaze of Limestone Coun- 
ty had a tract of land which contain- 
ed some beautiful pines on one por- 
tion. However, a large part had grown 
up in small mixed oaks. This was moist, 
flat, fairly fertile land which is classed 
as crop or pasture land for best land use. 
He requested assistance in determining 
whether or not be could get enough for 
the timber to pay for clearing and con- 
verting the tract to pasture land. 

"Mr. Glaze received an average of $25 
per thousand feet for his timber, or $10,- 
000 for the tract, and in addition, is also 
practically getting his pasture cleared." 




Get Fertilizer Early 

THOUGH it's a long time until spring plant- 
ing, many Alabama farmers are already 
getting the fertilizers they will need. API 
extension agronomists strongly urge that all 
farmers see their fertilizer dealers about next 
year's needs as soon as possible. 



PHENOTHIAZINE 
SALT MIXTURE /& 




They Can Do The Job 

THE Retraining and Reemployment Admin- 
istration of the Department of Labor 
gives the following facts: between 1940 and 
1945 the number of employed handicapped 
persons increased over 1,000 per cent. . . . 
from 27,600 to 300,000. 

Wartime experience showed that practi- 
cally every job can be performed by some 
handicapped worker. Employers found that 
disabled workers stay on the job, have fewer 
accidents, often produce more and better 
work than normal people, and expect no spe- 
cial favors. 

In agriculture and related activities, am- 
putees with the aid of appliances can be suc- 
cessfully employed as farmers, farm laborers, 
administrative assistants, soil chemists, soil 
conservationists, information specialists, and 
foresters. The same jobs are open to those 
who are partially deaf. 

All types of jobs in agriculture, as well as 
in other fields, are feasible for persons with 
arrested tuberculosis. Some epileptics are 
employed as farm hands. In food processing 
plants, blind persons with proper training 
can be used in jobs that call for repititious 
operations, or that require a delicate sense 
of touch.

Top left photo shows W. D. Salmon (left) and D. H. Copeland, animal nutritionists of the Agricultural Experiment Station, A. P. I., who have produced cancers in 
rats on a diet low in choline. Photo at right shows (A) Tumors of the liver (hepatomas of a rat that was fed a diet deficient in choline. (B) Healthy liver of a rat 
that was fed the same diet as (A) but supplemented with needed extra amounts of choline to maintain a healthy condition. 



Diets May Cause Cancer 

MANY attempts have been made to link 
cancer to dietary causes, but the work 
of two Alabama Agricultural Experiment 
Station scientists at Auburn is apparently the 
first in which cancer has been produced in 
experimental animals as a result of specific 
dietary deficiency. 

Not enough choline in the diet was the 
cause of cancerous growths in the experimen- 
tal animals, say D. H. Copeland and W. D. 
Salmon, Station nutritionists. 

Caused Cancer In Rats 

Within 8 to 16 months, a large number of 
nearly 100 rats fed a diet low in choline de- 
veloped abnormal growth (neoplasms) of 
pre-cancerous or cancerous types. These oc- 
curred principally in the lungs and liver, al- 
though in some cases other tissues became 
involved. 



Tumors of the liver (hepatomas) were 
found in 10 per cent of the rats. Similar 
growths were found in the membranes at- 
tached to the intestines. Some were attached 
to the liver by thread-like connections, while 
others had no visible attachments. 

In this experiment, dietary cancer in the 
livers of the animals was always found to fol- 
low cirrhosis of the liver. Cancer of the liver 
in people likewise follows cirrhosis in a high 
percentage of cases, Copeland and Salmon 
point out. 

Malignant tumors (adeno-carcinomas) oc- 
curred in the livers of 30 per cent of the 
rats receiving low-choline diet. Primary car- 
cinomas were found in the lungs of 38 per 
cent of the animals. In 10 per cent of the 
cases, malignant tumors developed under the 
skin or were imbedded in the muscular tis- 
sue. 

Choline Corrected Trouble 

In contrast, none of the control animals re- 
ceiving the same diet as the others but sup- 



plemented with adequate amounts of choline 
developed abnormal or cancerous growths. 

No experiments of this nature have been 
done with human beings by this station. Fur- 
thermore, no curative experiments have been 
completed. Hence, it is not known whether 
choline has any curative effects on laboratory 
animals or would have any effects on human 
beings. 

Choline is a relatively simple organic base 
and is sometimes classed as a vitamin. Only 
in the last 10 years has its nutritional impor- 
tance been recognized, although choline has 
been known for many years as an important 
constituent of the body. 

These Foods Carry Choline 

Choline occurs in the greatest amounts in 
such foods as egg yolk, brains, liver, kidney, 
ovaries, and heart. Moderate amounts occur 
in all meats, and small amounts in peas and 
beans. Although milk is low in choline, it 
is rich in the amino acid methionine which 
can substitute for choline in the diet. 



$5,441,000 Available For Soil Building Practices In Alabama In 1947 



By A. W. JONES 
State Director, Production and Marketing 
Administration 

REALIZING the importance of improving 
the fertility of our soil, the United States 
Government has set aside $5,441,000 for use 
in 1947 for carrying out soil building prac- 
tices on Alabama farms. 

Early in 1946, elected farmer county com- 
mitteemen studied our conservation needs 
and practices necessary to meet these needs. 
These conservation needs were passed on to 
state farmer committeemen and technicians 
who developed an over-all state-wide pro- 
gram that could be used by any farmer in 
Alabama, regardless of where his farm is lo- 
cated. As a result of this early action, the 
full 1947 program was announced on October 
1. This is earlier than any previous program 
has been announced. 

Three Jobs Ahead 

Now that the program has been announced, 
there seems to me to be three immediate jobs 
ahead. The first of these, I believe, should 
be to study the new program and fit it into 
our own farm needs for 1947. The second 
has to do with "stretching" money. Farmers 
are actually custodians of the $5,000,000 al- 
lotted to Alabama and just how we use these 
funds will not only determine how much fed- 
eral money we get in the future, but also how 
much benefit it means to us in increasing the 
yields and quality of the food, feed and fiber 
we raise. This reminds me of the story in 



the Bible about the talents. If we don't use 
our conservation money wisely, we will be 
the ones to suffer most, not some congress- 
man or technician. 

After we have studied the program, fitted 
the program to the needs on our farms, and 
figured out how to best spend the money giv- 
en to us by the Government, we, through our 
committeemen, still have the big job of pro- 
viding the necessary tools to do the job. For 
example, in 1946 and previous years the lack 
of trucks and spreading equipment has been 
a severe handicap in delivering and spread- 
ing on the land the needed amount of agri- 
cultural limestone. In 1947, if the need for 
applying lime is to be met, we should be plan- 
ning now about increasing these facilities and 
interesting limestone dealers and truckers in 
our liming program. 

Plan In Advance 

If the needs for the construction of ter- 
races, drainage ditches, and farm ponds are 
to be reached, plans must be made well in ad- 
vance for the mechanical equipment and ven- 
dors to operate it. These are just a few of 
the big jobs that I see ahead for all of us. 
Conditions vary throughout the State. I am 
sure that each of you is thinking of other 
jobs that must be done in your locality in or- 
der to make a big success of our 1947 pro- 
gram. 

Needs Are Listed 

I believe you will be interested in a study 



made during the last two years by committee- 
men, county and state office employees. This 
survey indicates these things: 

(1) There are approximately 4,359,000 
acres of land in Alabama that still need ter- 
racing. 

(2) We need to* apply 1,546,000 tons of 
superphosphate or basic slag, 9,485,000 tons 
of lime, and 423,000 tons of potash for con- 
servation purposes. " 

(3) We should have 416,000 acres of kud- 
zu and 544,000 acres of sericea to provide 
erosion control measures on steep slopes and 
in terrace outlets. 

(4) We should have a minimum of 269,- 
000 acres of crotalaria, 3,000,000 acres of an- 
nual winter legumes, 132,000 acres of annual 
lespedeza, and 1,445,000 acres of newly im- 
proved pastures. 

(5) We need 45 million feet of drainage 
ditches to properly utilize some of our best 
potential agricultural lands that are now 
water-logged. 

(6) We need to plant forest trees on more 
than 1,300,000 acres of land that are idle or 
abandoned from which we are realizing no 
benefit. 

(7) We have about 900,000 acres of land 
that should be cleared of bushes and scrub 
growth and turned into high producing pas- 
ture land. 

(8) We should be harvesting legume and 
grass seed on about 290,000 acres of land 
each year.

telephone rates have remained as low or

Telephone earnings today are not only

Farm Bureau Membership Drive 

The County Farm Bureau Mem- 
bership Drive workers are still hard 
at work getting members for the 
Farm Bureau. According to W. 
Royce Morris, Secretary-Treasurer 
over 500 members have already paid 
their 1947 dues. This year the 
quota is 810 members. This means 
that 300 more members must be 
signed up for 1947. 

It is interesting to note that farm- 
ers and leaders who have never 
before been members are joining in 
a common cause for a common 
good. It certainly seems that the 
most good and most protection can 
be gained by uniting together under 
a common banner to solve the pro- 
blems which affect all of us. 

If your dues haven't been paid, 
mail them today to W. Royce Mor- 
ris, Secretary - Treasurer, Colum- 
biana, Alabama.

has a fine record to report on her 
Poultry Flock. Mrs. Heaton had 
304 hens for the year with an aver-

were $2,288.74. Her total expenses 
for feed was $627.05. This gave Mrs. 
Heaton a total of $1„666.69 profit

Navy Recruiter To 
Visit Montevallo 

A Navy Recruiter will be in Mon- 
tevallo the first Thursday of each 
month, in the Post Office building 
at 10:30 a.m. 

Enlistments in the Navy are not 
limited now and young men be- 
tween the ages of 17 and 30 can as- 
sure themselves of a good future 
while serving in the peacetime 
Navy. The G. I. bill of rights is 
still in effect as well as family al- 
lowances. . 



Christmas Seals 
Mean Human Lives 

Christmas Seals mean human 
lives. They mean the difference be- 
tween life and death to many 
tuberculosis stricken people in Ala- 
bama and the nation. 

More important still, they mean 
protection against tuberculosis for 
every citizen of the state — for 
every one who cares enough to 
safeguard his home and family from 
the oldest and most persistent killer 
of mankind. 

With this statement, Henry M. 
Johnson. Siluria, chairman of the 
Shelby County Tuberculosis Asso- 
ciation, called upon citizens to de- 
monstrate added interest in the 
fight to stamp out tuberculosis by 
buying and using Christmas Seals. 

"A total of 18 deaths from "tuber- 
culosis occurred in Shelby County 
last year. Eighteen died because 
they did not discovevr they had the 
disease until it was too late. 

"It's probable there are more 
than this number dying now from 
tuberculosis in Shelby County — 
dying because they will not re- 
cognize their plight until it is too 
late. 

•"The mission of th£ Christmas 
Seal is to aid in preventing and 
controlling tuberculosis through 
education and early discovery of 
infection. If every one would be- 
come sufficiently interested to have 
a chest X-ray made, many deaths 
will be prevented because the germ 
is caught in time. 

"No home is safe until all homes 
are safe because tuberculosis travels 
fast and works under cover. The 
use of Christmas Seals on letters 
and packages reminds the world 
that tuberculosis is communicable, 
preventable and curable." 

The Seal Sale will continue until 
Christmas, Mr. Johnson said, add- 
ing that a minimum of 75 per cent 
of the money raised will remain in 
Shelby County for local tubercu- 
losis control work. 



"White Christmas" 
Is Planned For 
Children's Home 

With "White Christmas" (Sunday 
December 22) drawing closer, the 
Board of Directors of the Metho- 
dist Children's Home at Selma, in 
a final appeal, again calls on Me- 
thodists of Alabama and West 
Florida to make plans for generous 
contributions on that date in their 
respective churches to assure the 
proper care for the scores of child- 
ren in this Home during 1947. 

It is pointed out that in spite of 
all difficulties of past years the 
Methodist Children's Home has 
grown larger, is taking care of its 
children better, and is living within 
its means. Everything is being done 
to provide a home atmosphere for 
the children rather than the. insti- 
tutional usual type. 

Interested friends are urged to 
apply to "White Christmas" cam- 
paign headquarters, (Phone 7-4071) 
located at 606 First National build- 
ing, Birmingham, with Mrs. O. H. 
Horton in charge, for any needed 
supplies for carrying out a "White 
Christmas" program in the churches 
including suggested "three minute 
talks," dime cards, plays, pamphlets 
and other suitable material. 



Ex-Navy Men May 
Re-enlist With Rating 

Ex-members of the U. S. Naval 
Reserve, class B-6, who have not 
been discharged from active Naval 
service over 90 days, may enlist in 
the regular navy in the same rat- 
ing held at time of discharge pro- 
viding they hold one of the many 
ratings declared open by the Navy 
Department according to an an- 
nouncement made today by Lt. F. 
A. Yarbrough, officer in charge of 
the Birmingham Navy Recruiting 
Station. 

Mr. Yarbrough further stated 
that ex-members of the USNR V-6 
who have been, discharged more 
than 90 days, and who were in pay 
grades 1 to 5, may enlist in the re- 
gular navy in pay grade 5 if they 
can meet the mental and physical 
requirements. Men discharged in 
pay grades 6 and 7 may enlist in a 
pay grade not higher than the one 
in which discharged. 

Men in the above two categories 
are not required to take recruit 
training again. They are sent di- 
rectly to Charleston, S. C. where 
they arc given a new issue of cloth- 
ing and assigned to duty. 



The 

Montevallo Times 



VOL. XIV. — No. 33 



MONTEVALLO, ALABAMA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1946 



In The Interest Of Veterans 

As is well-known to the general public, Alabama 
College, at the beginning of the current academic year,, 
admitted men as students. The admission of men to the 
college was authorized by the Board of Trustees of the 
college reluctantly on the request of the Governor of the 
State and in the effort to provide higher education for 
the largest possible number of veterans, both men and' 
women. 

Under the federal laws, veterans receive each an al- 
lowance of $65.00 per month for subsistence. If the" 
people of our town and the surrounding territory can 
and will make rooming facilities available for men vet- 
erans, there is reason to believe that possibly twice as 
many men will enter the college for the second semester 1 
beginning January 27 as are now in attendance. This 
they cannot and will not do if the charges for rooming 
facilities are excessive. 

The college authorities fully recognize that whether 1 
or not private citizens will open their homes to veterans 
and what charges shall be made therefor is wholly a pri- 
vate affair. The college cannot undertake to stipulate! 
what such charges shall be. However, it must be obvious 
that there is a certain fjatriotic appeal involved in this' 
whole situation in the interest of those men and women 
who have served their country in the recent years of war. 

What helps the college helps the town. This matter 
is presented to the readers of the Times in this public; 
way for such consideration as they may see their way 
clear to give it. 

— A. F. Harman, 
President. 



4-H'ers Have Record 
Year In Club Work 

By E. H. Wilson, Ass't. Co. Agent 

Shelby County 4-H Club boys and 
girls have just completed a record 
year in their 4-H Club work Dur- 
ing 1946, 1,461 boys and girls were 
members of the 37 different 4-H 
Clubs located in all sections of the 
County. 

During the year, 1,199 boys and 
girls completed 2,062 projects. 
These project s included corn, cot- 
ton, gardens, beef calves, dairy 
calves, hogs, beautification of home 
grounds, food preparation and pre- 
servation, clothing and room im- 
provement. 

According to Miss Marion Cot- 
ney, Home Agent, 4-H girls planned 
5,126 meals, and served 7,235 meals. 
Food preservation was very popular 
with the 4-H girls. In 1946 4-H 
girls canned 36,385 quarts of fruits 
and vegetables. 

Beef Cattle and Dairying were 
very popular with 4-H boys. 4-H 
boys and girls entered 22 beef 
calves in the Birmingham Fat Stock 
Show last April. These boys and 
girls made a total profit of $1,200.31 
on their 22 beef calves. 

The 4-H Jersey Cattle Club has 
been very active this yezr. This 
club consists of all 4-H boys who 
own purebred animals. The Club 
has now approximately 40 members 
owning over 100 purebred animals. 
This year the Cattle^ Club sponsor- 
ed the Dairy Cattle Show in Col- 
umbiana, showing 41 purebred Jer- 
sey animals. 4 girls were among the 
club members showing purebred 
animals. The Jersey Cattle Club 
also entered 17 animals in the De- 
mopolis Show and these Shelby 
County animals took top honors at 
this show. 

4-H Clubs of the county are tak- 
ing an active part in all school and 
Community affairs. These 4-H boys 
and girls have done a good job this 
year and have every right to be 
proud of their 4-H Club work. 



MRS. NAPIER ENTERTAINS 
D. A. R. 

Mrs. T. H. Napier acted as hos-

"Alabama From A Bus." With a 
great deal of wit and charm Miss 
Palmer gave a picture of those 
people and places in Alabama which 
many of us never get to know. The 
January meeting will be held at the 
home of Mrs. Vaughan.

Tom Martin Chosen 
Man Of The Year 

Thomas W. Martin, President of

man of the Board of the Southern

the "South's Man of the Year", by 
Dixie Business, editor of the publi-

Selection of the man to receive 
the award was more difficult this 
year, Lee added, because of the 
outstanding job done by southern 
business leaders in reconversion. 
The choice of Martin, however, he 
said, was one of universal leader- 
ship to the Southern Research In- 
stitute, regarded by many of the 
South's leaders as the outstanding 
development in the South in many, 
many years. 

Martin's picture will appear on

his activities during the past year

December 2 to begin the task of 
drafting a master legislative plan 
for development of outdoor recrea- 
tional facilities in Alabama. Other 
members of the group meeting in 
conference included representatives 
of the Tennessee Valley Authority, 
the National Park Service, the Uni- 
versity of Alabama, Alabama Poly- 
technic Institute and Alabama Col- 
lege. Dr. Margaret McCall, Head of 
the Department of Health, Physi- 
cal Education and Recreation rep- 
resented Alabama College. 

The first draft of the study to 
be completed by February will in- 
clude a survey of existing facilities 
for recreation, along with expan- 
sion plans and enlargement possibi- 
lities in Alabama and other states. 
The survey will also include an 
inventory of federal, state and local 
agencies that might help in the 
program , as well as a study of the 
overall recreational needs of the 
people of the state. 

A coordinated, long term plan for 
the development of Alabama's re- 
creational facilities is an urgent 



the editor added. 

Long active in civic and indus- 
trial development in the state, Mar- 
tin has used his own company ex- 
tensively to further such develop- 
ment. He is one of the original 
founders of the Alabama State 
Chamber of Commerce, and served 
as chairman of the Talladega War 
Plants Conversion Committee, 
which laid the foundation for the 
sale of the Brecon plant near Tal- 
lalega to desirable manufacturing 
interests. He was honored for his 
v.-ork with this group at the annual 
banquet meeting of the Talladega 
Chamber of Commerce and the City 
of Talladega presented the leader 
with a resolution expressing their 
approval.

held its annual meeting in Birm-

tended the session and were out- 
standing in their praise of Martin. 



need for the state. A recent report 
on the season's attendance at the 
state parks increased 105 per cent 
over that of last year. The possibili- 
ties for improvement include addi- 
tional use of the gulf beach and 
the Tennessee Valley area. A pro- 
posal has been made for the con- 
struction of a fishing pond in every 
county. There is also a need for 
developing a site for the training 
of camp counselors. 



Glee Club To Give 
Christmas Program 

The Alabama College Glee Club 
and Orchestra, under the direction 
of Miss Claire Ordway, will give a 
Christmas concert in Palmer Audi- 
torium tomorrow night at 8:15 p.m. 

Departing from its custom of 
singing only selections from THE 
MESSIAH, the Glee Club this year 
will add to its program three other 
numbers. "The Twelve Days of 
Christmas," an old English folk 
song, is arranged in madrigal style 
for two choruses by Saar. This will 
be followed by the Gaul-Bailey set- 
ting of a Portuguese carol, "Little 
Jesu of Braga." Dr. Clarence Dick- 
inson's "The Shepherds Story" is 
the final piece in this group. Vir- 
ginia Powell is piano accompanist 
for these seletions, and the various 
solo parts are to be sung by Vir-' 
ginia Kershaw, Sadie Thompson, 
Ella Ruth Gauntt, Mayo Baker, 
Joyce Floyd, and Katherine Turner. 

The Pastoral Movement of 
CHRISTMAS CONCERTO by 
Corelli will be the Orchestra's first 
number, followed by the first move- 
ment of Schubert's B-Minor "Un- 
finished Symphony. String solos 
will be taken by Mary Louise Cat- 
on, Margaret Harrell, and Rosalie 
Marshall. 

The singers, orchestra, and Miss 
Ina L. Strom, organist, will unite to 
present five choruses from Handel's 
MESSIAH. The entire program 
concludes with the performance of 
the famous "Hallelujah."

Food Preservation 

Home demonstration club mem- 
bers are studying Food Conserva- 
tion and Equipment this month. 
The following suggestions are of- 
fered on canning equipment : 

(1) Now is a good time to buy a 
steam pressure canner. A few are 
available but will be hard to get 
during the canning season. 

(2) If you are planning to buy a 
vvaterbath canner, look for one that 
is at least five inches deeper than 
a quart jar. This wil allow for two 
inches of water over the jars and 
not boil over. ' 

(3) Jar lifters, canning tongs, and 
jar wrenches are available. A small 
pair of tongs are most useful for 
lifting hot food, such as meat, boil- 
ed eggs, and potatoes. 

Meat Canning 
Winter is meat canning season 
in the farm homes of Shelby Coun- 
ty. The following points should be 
kept in mind : 

(1) Only meat from health ani- 
mals. 

(2) Chill meat at once and keep 
it chilled until canning time. 

(3) Can meat in a pressure can- 
ner. 

a. The water in the canner should 
be 2 inches deep. 

b. Let steam escape 10 minutes 
before closing the petcock. 

c. Count time as soon as the pres- 
sure gauge indicates 10 pounds or

d. Regulate the heat so that the 
pressure stays at 10 pounds. 

(4) Use enamel ware, aluminum, 
or stainless steel utensils. 

(5) Can meat in plain tin or glass 
jars. 

(6) The two ways of packing 
meat for canning are : (a) The hot 
pack, and (b) the raw pack. (Do 
not fry meat before canning. The 
brown crust becomes dry, hard, and 
has a disagreeable flavor.) 

(7) Use loin and other cuts suit- 
able for roasts, steaks, or chops. 
Cut in pieces to fit jars. Use the 
less tender cuts for stew meats. Cut 
in small pieces. 

Hot Pack : (a) Place meat in 
large shallow pan, add just enough 
water to keep from sticking. Cover 
pan and pre-cook meat slowly until 
medium done, stirring occasionally. 

(b) Place salt in jar. Use 1 tea- 
spoon to each quart. 

(c) Pack meat hot. Leave 1 inch 
above meat for head space. 

(d) Cover meat with hot water 
or both. Leave headspace. 

(e) Work out airbubbles with 
knife. 

(f) Adjust lids on jars. 

(g) Process at once at 10 pounds 
pressure (240' F.) Pint jars, 75 minu- 
tes; Quart jars, 90 minutes.

10 in Palmer Auditorium. 



Ziolkowski To Give 
Recital January 10 

M. Ziolkowski, professor in the 
School of Music, will present his 
seventeenth annual piano recital in 
Palmer Auditorium on Friday, Jan- 
uary 10, 1947, at 8:15 p.m. 

Mr. Ziolkowski's program will 
•consist of the following numbers : 
Brahms' VARIATIONS and 
FUGUE ON A THEME BY HAN- 
DEL, Beethoven's SONATA AP- 
PASSIONATA, FANTASIE IN F 
MINOR AND MAZURKA IN F- 
SHARP MINOR by Chopin, 
POLKA by Rachmnainoff, 
WITCHES' DANCE by Mr. Ziol- 
kowski, and Liszt's HUNGARIAN 
RHAPSODY NO. 2. 

Coming to Montevallo in 1929 
with the sole intention of taking a 
vacation from his teaching and con- 
cert work, Mr. Ziolkowski accepted 
a position at Alabama College. He 
is a native of Poland, but he has 
been an American citizen for 
twelve years. 

A composer and pianist of distinc- 
tion in his own country, Mr. Ziol- 
kowski has studied at Stern Con- 
servatory in Berlin and with Pad- 
erewski in Switzerland. He thus has 
an ideal background for his skillful 
and sympathetic interpretation of 
Chopin's works. Some of his own 
compositions are: "MOUNTAIN 
FANTASY," "FIRE FLIES," and 
"WITCHES' DANCE." The last is 
included in this year's recital. 



Negro Girl Drowns 
Near Almont School 

Lovele Brown, 12-year oil negro 
girl, student at Almont School, was 
drowned in a creek near the school 
Friday morning. 

The child is from Alabaster. She 
was living with her grand-mother, 
Mattie Dunn, age 60. 

Early Friday morning the grand 
mother was taking the girl to 
school. As they walked a footlog 
across the creek, the child fell into 
the creek, pulliing the grandmother 
Into the stream with her. 

After some hours the grand-fath 
er heard the cries of his wife and 
found her on the bank of the 
stream exhausted. 

The body of the child had not 
been recovered at noon Friday, ac 
cording to reports. 



Power Tax Totals 
Million And Half 

Alabama Power Company today 
completed the mailing of checks 
totaling $1,538,280 covering real and 
personal property taxes for 1946. 
Of this amount $681,261 will find 
its way into school funds. 

The Company has previously paid 
$443,937 in kilowatt and chain store 
tax for 1946. These two taxes go 
into funds ear-marked for schools. 
Schools in Alabama will, therefore, 
benefit over $1,000,000 from taxes 
paid by Alabama Power Company. 



Chairman Urges Use 
Of Christmas Seals 

Residents of Shelby County who 
have not yet acknowledged receipt 
of their 1946 Christmas Seals were 
urged to do so promptly in a state- 
ment issued this week by Mr. 
Henry M. Johnson, Seal Sale chair- 
man. 

"Next week is Christmas week," 
said Mr. Johnson, "and giving good 
health through the purchase of 
Christmas Seals is a gift none of 
us want to forget. Christmas Seals 
bought in the spirit of the Yuletide 
season will benefit Shelby County 
through the coming year. 

"In the rush of holiday prepara- 
tions, people sometimes forget to 
acknowledge their Christmas Seals. 
We are eager to have all returns in 
a« soon as possible because the 
work of planning for tuberculosis 
control and prevention next year 
depends upon the success of this 
Christmas Seal Sale." 

Persons wishing to purchase 
Christmas Seals who did not receive 
them through the mail may obtain 
them by contacting Mr. Johnson, 
the chairman, said. 

"Let us all remember the 18 peo- 
ple who died last year from tuber- 
culosis in Shelby County, and let us 
dedicate our 1946 Christmas Seal 
dollars to a strong determination to 
avoid further needless death from 
this great killer." Mr. Johnson said. 



Lambda Sigma Pi 
Activities Outlined 

Organized in 1940 at Alabama 
College, the state college for wo- 
men, Lambda Sigma Pi, a senior 
women's honorary society, has been 
one of the most active organiza- 
tions on the Alabama College camp- 
us in 1946. Significant among the 
social activities of Lambda Sigma 
Pi has been the entertainment by 
its members of the. Women Veter- 
ans and the house mothers at Ala- 
bama College. 

As part of its extensive campus 
projects Lambda Sigma Pi has 
helped in the establishment of the 
course in parliamentary procedure 
taught by Dr. A. W. Vaughan, pro- 
fessor of the English Department. 
Also in keeping with these projects 
has been the work of various com- 
mittees of Lambda Sigma Pi for 
selling stationery on the campus, 
and the preparation of a town list 
of residences open to friends and 
relatives of students at Alabama 
College.

Soil Conservation 
Makes Progress 

Since the organization of the 
Shelby County work unit of the 
North Central Soil Conservation 
District, 318 farm plans have been 
prepared covering over 47,000 acres. 

These plans call for changes in 
cropping practices, growing of more 
establishment of permanent pas- 
tures, constructing terraces, plant- 
ing of woodland borders and wild- 
life strips, and proper management 
of woodland. 

Since the war more and more 
farmers are returning to the farm 
and they are looking for an income 
at least once a month not once a 
year. Live stock, poultry and milk 
seem to be the answer and with it 
comes the requirements for more 
pasture, more perenials like Kudzu 
and Sericea, more cover crops and 
small grain for grazing. 

From the farmers in the county 
doing a good job comes a report 
that G. H. Eastis and C. D. Heaton 
of Wilsonville, and B. B. Mooney 
of Columbiana have every acre of 
their land under cover in woodland, 
pasture, Sericea, Kudzu, Crotolaria 
or Lespedeza stabble, small grain 
or winter legumes. 



College Campus No Landing Field 

For the information of the readers of the Times, and 
of the general public, it seems necessary to announce that 
no part of the college campus or its surrounding proper- 
ties is a landing field for publicly owned or privately 
owned airplanes. Persons who" use any part of the college 
property for this purpose violate wishes of the college 
authorities and so do at their own risk. 

The foregoing statement obviously does not apply 
to landings in case of emergency.

Congratulations to the Camp 
Branch girls 4-H club ! Fifteen girls 
exhibited 42 well-made, pot holders 
at the 4-H meeting. December 11, 
as a result of the November demon- 
stration on "Making Pot Holders." 

Flora Mae Bozeman, Ruth Naish, 
Johnnie Rose Wilson and Annie 
Mae Phillips had made 4 pot hold- 
ers each. Betty Brantly topped that 
number with five. 

Flora Mae Bozeman, Ruth Naish, 
Reba Moore and Annie Phillips 
stencilled and hemmed five dish- 
towels. 

Reba Moore also stencilled and 
fringed a breakfast cloth. 

Practically all 4-H members have 
been busy making other items in 
their! home rooms. The sixth grade 
is making an afghan for the Junior 
Red Cross. Mrs. Cobb's group is 
busy making gifts from boxes and 
cans. 

In addition to these activities 
these girls have been busy collect- 
ing flour coupons to raise money 
for their club treasury and to pay 
the 4-H County Council dues. They 
plan to raise sufficient funds to 
purchase a sewing machine for the 
school. 

Mrs. Wilson Durden is the ag-

Hot as a firecracker. That's an expression. Hot as

progress as new telephone connections are soldered 
together — putting speed into the Telephone Com- 
pany's program to improve service — to provide 
telephones for all who want them. 

Telephone folks are in the thick of things, striv- 
ing to give you as quickjy as humanly possible the 
kind of service you want. Installing equipment for 
more and better telephone service is a time-con- 
suming, complicated job. Miles of wiring must be 
laced into switchboards. Millions of intricate con- 
nections soldered, each in its precise place. Banks 
of electrical relays set up. Cables laid. Poles 
erected. Wires strung. And sometimes a whole new 
building constructed. 

"Get the work out!" 

That's our slogan. And that's exactly what we 
are doing as fast as we can get the materials and 
then install the equipment.

Sociology Students 
Give Boxes To Needy 

The Sociology Department of 
Alabama College has entered into 
the Christmas spirit with the most 
vigorous enthusiasm as has been 
demonstrated by their collection of 
approximately forty Christmas 
boxes which are to be distributed 
among the needy families of this 
and adjoining communities. Contri- 
butions from the Montevallo Labo- 
ratory School and the College 
Sociology Department were enlarg- 
ed by gifts from the Rotary Club, 
Montevallo Study Club, and various 
college girls who were anxious to 
see that each box contained all the 
articles necessary to the making of 
a complete and merry Christmas 
for an underprivileged family. 

The Christmas boxes, decorated 
in gay colors of red and green by 
both high school and college stu- 
dents, were filled with such articles 
as staple foods, including such

things as coffee, potatoes, etc. ; fruit,

children. The toys were of every 
type ranging fr«m dolls to marbles. 
Some of the boxes also contained 
clothing and personal articles such 
as snuff, tobacco, or scarfs for the 
elderly people. 
The sociologists who prepared the 



boxes did not know the names of 
the families whom they were help- 
ing. Their only method for know- 
ing what type of articles to include 
for the various families was by 
consulting a list of the type fami- 
lies from the source workers and 
supervisors of this county and De-

valued at not less than five dollars.

French Exchange Student At Alabama 
College Was Member Of Underground 



Vivacious Chantal Dumont, who 
won the Croix de Guerre for her 
daring war service with the French 
underground, said today she was 
finding life "quite hazardous" in 
this peaceful little college com- 
munity where she is an exchange 
student. 

"I love all the candy bars . . . but 
when I eat too many I get sick," 
she explained. "It is even worse 
than France, really !" 

Certainly her diet here is quite 
different from the one on which 
she and fellow students at the uni- 
versity she attended in France 
"subsisted" during the lean war 
years. 

Typical, she said, was the soup. 
"It was really colored water made 
with three turnips and potato peel- 
ings. We could even see the peel- 
ings swimming in the soup." 

While a student at the French 
university during the morning 
hours, Chantal was carrying on 
dangerous and exacting work for 
the French underground during 
the afternoons and nights, some- 
times working almost the entire 
night, then reporting to her classes 
the next morning. 

She worked with the headquar- 
ters unit which directed work of 
three important departments in- 
cluding the famed Maquis, which 
in France signifies a wild natural 
place where people can hide. Be- 
cause of the danger of their work 
the Maquis frequently needed to 
do just that, she explained. 

The Maquis organization was 
picked and streamlined for safety's 
sake and its agents never were 
allowed to know one another, each 
working under a pseudonym and 
on direct orders from headquarters. 
This arrangement was necessary, 
she said, so 1 that in event an agent 
was captured, he could not, even 
if tortured, divulge names of the 
others for the simple reason that 
he would not know the names of 
the others. 

Chantal, hqwever, did know the 
real names of all the agents in three 
important departments and for that 
reason would have been a real Nazi 
"prize," if captured. 




stead of the service of other mem- 
bers of her family, particularly her 
father who was a veteran of both 
world wars and who lost his life 
in 1940 on the day the French 
armistice was signed. 

"He was an example for us to 
follow," she said. "But we are not 
heroes, you know. It was natural 
for us to do so — to fight for the 
freedom of our country." 

Her father, a captain in the regu- 
lar French army received France's 
highest award to its fighting men, 
the Legion d'Honneur, during the 
first war. He also won in that war 
the Croix de Guerre, England's 
Military Cross, the Italian Valore 
Militaire, and several other cita- 
tions. 

In this second war he received 
the Croix de Guerre for the second 
time. 

One of her brothers fought 
against the Japanese in Indo-China 
and was decorated by the Indo- 
Chinese government for his activi- 
ties. Another, who fought in Nor- 
way and in France, received four 
citations and a Croix de Guerre be- 
fore the fall of France and then, 
with France out of the war, en- 
listed with the underground intelli- 
gence service, receiving still an- 
other citation for that work. 

A third brother, an aviator, also 
has been recommended for the 
Croix de Guerre for his service 
against the Germans and in the 
liberation of Savoy. In addition, a 
sister worked as an agent of Laison 
in the underground and another 
sister, whose husband was a mem- 
ber of the Maquis, risked her life 
by hiding refugees in her home.

Mrs, Roger's book, THEY ASK

the greatest books written by a 
Southern writer. The title of the 
book is taken from a sermon by 
the Right Reverend C. C. J. Carpen- 
ter, Bishop of Alabama. 

The book was published on Nov- 
ember 28, 1946, coincidental with 
the Diamond Jubilee celebration in

MONTEVALLO, ALABAMA, TH URSDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1946 



CHANTAL DUMONT 

Earlier in the war, before she 
had taken on this important part 
of her work, she actually had been 
captured by the Nazis and was held 
prisoner for two days, two days 
during which the Germans "forgot" 
to feed her, she said. 

After her release she was "shad- 
owed" for some time, a circum- 
stance which made it impossible for 
her to carry on her work with the 
Alliance. 

Unable to stay inactive when so 
much was at stake, however, she 
soon started doing intelligence 
work for the group called Gallia, 
and in which she served as secre- 
tary to the head of the under- 
ground, and carried on such diverse 
duties as collecting and sorting 
mail, deciphering messages, and 
contacting agents including those 
of the Maquis. 

Her headquarters during this time 
was an old monastery where they 
worked in frigid winter weather 
of the alpine district, without bene- 
fit of any heating apparatus or fire. 

Chantal deprecated her own war 
experiences, preferring to talk in-

W. E. Calhoun, High

Prof. Wallace E. Calhoun, age 51,

with Ridout of Birmingham in 
charge. 

Mr. Calhoun came to Montevallo

of Montevallo High School where

Four T. B. Cases 
Reported In County 

The 233 tuberculosis cases report- 
ed from the entire State during the 
month of October included 4 from 
Shelby County, the State Depart-

Seven of the 67 counties report- 
ed ten or more cases each during

while 18 cases were reported from 
Mobile County, 16 from Montgo- 
mery, 14 from Lauderdale, 11 from 
Calhoun, and ten each from Jack- 
son and Talladega County. 



at a dinner in the College Dining

Dr. McCloy will be the guest 
speaker at a luncheon of the Stu- 
dent Section of the Alabama Asso- 
ciation for Health, Physical Edu- 
cation and Recreation at the Tut- 
wiler Hotel in Birmingham on Jan- 
uary 18. 



Shelby Farmers 
Increase Income 

Nearly doubling their annual 
gross income in comparison with 
1940, as reported by the U. S. Bu- 
reau of Census, Shelby County farm 
families last year produced crops 
and livestock with the record value 
ot mere than $2,002,000. 

This huge increase in farm reve- 
nue has already created heavy de- 
mand for general farm improve- 
ments and for home remodeling, 
according to a study released by 
tile Council of America. With everv. 
industry anticipating greater busi- 
ness in the state than before the 
war, flour and wall tile manufactur- 
ers alone expect their sales here to 
triple in the next few years. 

"Increased sales of industrial pro- 
ducts mean in turn a new level of 
prosperity for every local business- 
man and worker," said D. P. Forst, 
chairman of the Council's Resi- 
dential Construction Committee. 

The study shows that many farm 
improvements were made even dur- 
ing the war. Since 1940, for ex- 
ample, the number of farm homes 
reporting electric lights here has 
increased from 631 to 1,051. Heavy 
demand for such modernizing as 
installation of running water, tiling 
of bathrooms and improving kitch- 
en layouts has already resulted, 
according to Forst. 

Forst also pointed out that farm- 
ers in the county today have 80 
more tractors than in 1940, accord- 
ing to the Bureau of Census, and 
that the number of trucks on farms 
has likewise increased substantially. 
"These facts not only indicate the 
importance of the farm market but 
also make it one which no business- 
man or manufacturer can afford 
to overlook," he said. 



The many friends of Dr. Terrell 
Bridges will be glad to know that 
he is able to return to his home 
here. He has been in a Birmingham 
hospital for several weeks. 



Chief Deputy Of 
Chilton County Dies 

Clanton, Dec. 24 — Theodore Jack- 
son Thornton, 55, chief deputy she- 
riff of Chilton County, died Mon- 
day at the residence following a

Funeral services were held at

Thornton, Clanton ; two daughters 
Miss Clarice Thornton, Montgo- 
mery, and Mrs. Willie Marie Arm-

A MUSICAL PLEA FOR 
COOPERATION 

"Think what a single individual 
in a symphony orchestra can ac- 
complish by giving up his individual 
traits and ambitions in the service 
of music. Some call it co-operation, 
mutual understanding, teamwork, 
but it all springs from the all-em- 



bracing love for music. Suppose 
that in life you had the same all- 
embracing love for the whole of 
mankind and for your neighbor in 
particular. Only when every one of 
us and every nation learns the 
secret of love for all mankind will 
the world become a great orchestra, 
following the beat of the Greatest 
Conductor of all."
